Abstract

Laser Fault Injection (LFI) has become a serious concern for hardware security in recent years. This paper provides a review of the main types of sensors that have been researched in recent years. It lays out the main requirements a sensor must meet in order to be viable. These include sensitivity, area, power utilization and PVT dependence. Next, the paper discusses the pros and cons of each of the sensors mentioned and further outlines what needs to be done in order to meet desired requirements in the foreseeable future. Finally, a new approach using analog devices is suggested for achieving better results.
