escrypt - Embedded Security

Almost all security solutions are based on a secret cryptographic key that can not be recovered by an attacker. Since many potential attackers of embedded applications have access to the devices, the risk exists that he can get hold of the key by physical manipulation.

escrypt has state-of-the-art knowledge in the following fields:

		Penetration in order to reveal weak points in security systems. This includes breaking of cryptographic methods, hardware and software attacks and the identification of organizational flaws.

		Data recovery: escrypt has major experience in recovering encrypted data, recovering passwords and finding encryption keys for commercial and institutional customers.

		Protection against side channel attacks. These attacks use the power consumption trace, the electromagnetic radiation or the run time of a cryptographic device for recovering the secret key. escrypt provides state-of-the-art protection against side channel attacks.

		Protection against fault injection attacks. Here, the key can be recovered through systematic malfunctions, for example by over-clocking or voltage peaks.

		Tamper resistance. Methods such as sensor technology or „hardening“ prevent the use of reverse engineering methods.

escrypt offers its customers consulting, analysis, design and implementation of physical security measures. All projects are kept highly confidential.
