README
README.mdFault Injection on AES: Cryptographic Hardware Attack
Overview
This project focused on exploiting vulnerabilities in AES encryption by inducing faults into embedded firmware running on an ATMega328P microcontroller and analyzing resulting data to recover the cipher key.
Tech Stack
- Firmware: C/C++ on Arduino IDE
- Microcontroller: ATMega328P
- Hardware Tools: RP2040 (for fault injection), Zynq-7000 FPGA (initial testing)
- Analysis: Python (differential analysis)
Key Features
- Implemented custom AES encryption in C on the victim MCU.
- Designed fault injection mechanism to corrupt encryption rounds.
- Collected and analyzed 1500 ciphertexts to extract partial cipher key.
- Used Python for statistical correlation and trace analysis.
Development Summary
- Wrote both victim and attacker firmware in C.
- Designed fault injection testbed using GPIO-triggered timing delays.
- Switched to RP2040 for more precise glitching after testing with Zynq FPGA.
- Performed statistical analysis to reverse-engineer AES keys using Python scripts.

Questions
How big is the Victim PCB?
It measures 38 × 33 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Victim use?
16 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-PU and FT232RL. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Victim KiCad files?
From the ronitghai/Fault-Injection-on-AES-Cryptographic-Hardware-Attack repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is victim/hardware/hardware.kicad_pcb and its schematic victim/hardware/hardware.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Victim design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ronitghai before reusing the design.
