Abstract: An exemplary method generally relates to operating an access control device including a motor, a locking member, and a target component operably connected with the locking member. The motor may be operated to drive the locking member in a first direction from an initial position toward a desired position. When the locking member is blocked from moving beyond a blockage position, a target location of the target component is detected. The motor may then be operated to drive the locking member in a second direction opposite the first direction. The motor may then be operated to drive the locking member in the first direction toward the blockage position while monitoring the location of the target component. As the target component reaches the target location, the motor is supplied with a boost current to drive the locking member beyond the blockage position and toward the desired position.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein are directed to devices, circuits, systems, and techniques to mitigate the impact of side-channel attacks on a cryptography function in a target system. The Razor flip-flops are inserted into critical paths of the cryptography function of the target system, including at rest blocks such as key vaults and data vaults, and also including registers and/or pipelines used for calculations within the cryptography functions. Errors detected by the Razor flip-flops are processed by error detection logic in the cryptographic function, which continues the calculations until completion. The generated key and data value pairs resulting from detected errors are discarded, silently ignored without disrupting the calculation process. The schemes disclosed herein mitigate the impact of side-channel attacks with a digital logic based implementation, with reduced complexity and reduced cost.
