Abstract
Recently electromagnetic fault injection (EMFI) techniques have been found to have significant implications on the security of embedded devices. Unfortunately there is still a lack of understanding of EM fault models and countermeasures for embedded processors. For the first time, this paper proposes an extended fault model based on the concept of critical charge and a new EMFI backside methodology based on over-clocking. Results show that exact timing of EM pulses can provide reliable repeatable instruction replacement faults for specific programs. An attack on AES is demonstrated showing that the EM fault injection requires on average less than 222 EM pulses and 5.3 plaintexts to retrieve the full AES key. This research is critical for ensuring embedded processors and their instruction set architectures are secure and resistant to fault injection attacks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
