| Abstract | This paper presents a novel hardware attack against RSA-based authentication of programs. Like the seminal paper from [10] it exploits the attacker's ability to arbitrarily tamper with a computational device during its data processing. But, contrary to [10] our method targets the RSA signature verification which processes only public data. Surprisingly, we prove how to let the RSA verification process accept signatures (with high probability and assuming the Riemann Hypothesis) of arbitrary code --- signed with our own self-created private key. While our attack is so far only theoretical, its practical feasibility has been already implicitly confirmed, cf. [6]. In fact, through real experiments with tamper-resistant devices [4] discovered the following caveat being at the heart of our vulnerability: the most often observed fault during RSA-computations exposed to glitch attacks is the erroneous modification of the moduli. Moreover, our attack relies only upon the simplest and most easiest practically implementable fault induction method described by [8]. Our idea is somehow inspired by practiced methods circumventing the FLASH Boot ROM authentication mechanism of the Xbox due to F. Lehner, cf[17]. Our attack can be interpreted as the extrapolation of the mathematical foundation underlying those Xbox vulnerabilities. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
