The security of cryptocircuits is determined not only for their mathematical formulation, but for their physical implementation. The so-called fault injection attacks, where an attacker inserts faults during the operation of the cipher to obtain a malfunction to reveal secret information, pose a serious threat for security. These attacks are also used by designers as a vehicle to detect security flaws and then protect the circuits against these kinds of attacks.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast milk is recognized as the optimal nutrition source for both full-term and premature infants, with research focusing on outcomes from a breast milk bank in a level III hospital.
  • 722 premature newborns under 37 weeks were hospitalized, with a majority (57%) receiving human breast milk from the bank, which significantly reduced the risk of complications.
  • The study found that receiving human milk before day 7 of life greatly decreased the chances of serious issues such as necrotizing enterocolitis (82% reduction), intraventricular hemorrhage (85% reduction), and sepsis (77% reduction), highlighting the critical role of breast milk banks in improving neonatal health outcomes.

One of the best methods to improve the security of cryptographic systems used to exchange sensitive information is to attack them to find their vulnerabilities and to strengthen them in subsequent designs. Trivium stream cipher is one of the lightweight ciphers designed for security applications in the Internet of things (IoT). In this paper, we present a complete setup to attack ASIC implementations of Trivium which allows recovering the secret keys using the active non-invasive technique attack of clock manipulation, combined with Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) cryptanalysis.

The birth rate of late premature babies has been increasing in recent years, composing now 75% of all premature births. This growing trend can be explained by different demographic transformations such as an increase in the demand for infertility treatments, older maternal age and the higher incidence of multiple pregnancies, cesarean sections, and labor induction. These premature babies contribute 30% to the global neonatal mortality rate.
