Achilles: A Formal Framework of Leaking Secrets from Signature Schemes via Rowhammer

No ratings

Presented at USENIX Security 2025 by

Signature schemes are a fundamental component of cybersecurity infrastructure. While they are designed to be mathematically secure against cryptographic attacks, they are vulnerable to Rowhammer fault-injection attacks. Since all existing attacks are ad-hoc in that they target individual parameters of specific signature schemes, it remains unclear about the impact of Rowhammer on signature schemes as a whole.
