Tools: The standard-setting security testing suite for embedded and connected devices ranging from mobile to smartcards and automotive to IoT.

  • Inspector Pre-Silicon: With Riscure Inspector Pre-Silicon, chip vendors are now able to find leakage in their designs and identify the root-cause automatically, using our unique patented technology. Find and fix side channel and fault injection vulnerabilities pre-silicon, instead of post-silicon.
  • Inspector Fault Injection: Inspector FI - Fault Injection - offers all features to perform fault injection testing on embedded systems and smart card technology. Our hardware components cover accurate, reliable and thus predictable, clock and voltage glitching, and advanced optical attacks with purpose-built laser equipment. With Inspector FI, a user can test if a key can be extracted by inducing faults in a chip's cryptographic operations, bypass a check such as an authentication or a lifecycle state, or change the program flow of code on the chip.
  • Inspector Side Channel Analysis: Inspector SCA - Side Channel Analysis - offers SPA, DPA, EMA, EMA-RF and RFA for embedded devices or Smart Cards. The user has detailed control over the entire side channel testing process. The Inspector architecture offers an open and flexible environment with an intuitive graphical representation of traces and analysis results. Furthermore, all aspects of side channel analysis are integrated in one solution, so that the user does not need to switch between environments or workstations in order to perform different aspects of side channel testing.
