  • Systems and methods for detecting and preventing optical attacks
    Patent number: 9559066
    Abstract: The present disclosure outlines various systems and methods for detecting an optical fault injection within an electronic device and/or preventing the optical fault injection from introducing an exploitable abnormality within the electronic device. These various systems and methods can include systems and methods that can detect or prevent laser injection attacks, which can include one or more small footprint complementary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) light detection circuits, or structures that can shield one or more transistors from a bottom side laser injection attack.
    Type: Grant
