There are several methods to perform attacks on smartcards. A situation where errors are used to manipulate the environmental component of the card by methods such as changing the voltage, changing the clock rate, or a temperature fluctuation would be considered what type of attack?
Fault generation
Differential power analysis
Micro probing
Electromagnetic analysis
The correct response is fault generation. This is commonly used by attackers to uncover encryption keys used to store information on a smart card. This is where errors are introduced into the environmental component of a card thereby changing input through alteration of voltage, clock rates, or temperature fluctuations.
