Protect Your Business and Customers with Rigorous Hardware Security Testing​

Comprehensive Hardware Security Testing for Ultimate Protection​

Black Box
No Source / Blind Analysis / Reverse Engineering​

  • Perform firmware analysis and reverse engineering to find vulnerabilities and recommend security measures.​

  • Disassemble the hardware, document every step, and produce a Bill of Materials (BOM). Verify and validate production hardware with design documentation.​

  • Test the authentication process, overall design security, and hardware functions.​

  • Simulate an array of potential attacks, and test for protection against ransomware and malware.​

  • Identify any unused or unlocked functionality that may have unintended side effects.

White Box
Full Access to Source Code & Internal Workings​

  • With access to the source code, conduct a thorough review of the authentication process and design security.​

  • Validate code signing and security measures, test the code quality, and perform code fuzzing to find vulnerabilities.​

  • Conduct simulations to test and validate the implementation's resiliency to ransomware and malware.​

  • Identify any unused or unlocked functionality that may have unintended side effects.​

Hardware Penetration Testing
Physical Access Testing & Side-Channel Attacks​

  • Evaluate the physical security of the hardware and attempt to gain unauthorized access.​

  • Perform signal analysis, EMI testing, and PCB analysis to perform side-channel attacks, and recommend countermeasures.​​

  • Disassemble and reverse engineer the hardware to identify hidden features and vulnerabilities.​

  • Suggest improvements to hardware security, such as implementing anti-tampering features, firmware encryption, and Root of Trust hardening.

Beyond the Surface: Our Expertise in Low-Level Testing Sets Us Apart​

  • Hardware Deployment Policy Review

    • Provide an understanding of how the hardware is used, and identify vulnerabilities that may arise from the deployment process.

  • Architecture Review

    • Review the hardware’s architecture to identify potential weaknesses in the system.

    • Recommend protections against supply chain attacks.

  • Hardware Design Review

    • Review the physical design of the hardware, including its components and circuitry. Identify vulnerabilities in the hardware design itself.

    • Produce a Bill of Materials (BOM).

  • Platform Security & Secure Boot Review

    • Review the security measures in place for the platform and any boot processes. Identify weaknesses in the security of the platform.

  • Firmware Extraction & Reverse Engineering

    • Extract the firmware from the hardware and reverse engineer it to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and potential attack vectors.

    • Recommend protections against supply chain attacks.

  • Logic Analysis & Traffic Review

    • After the firmware has been extracted and reversed, analyze the hardware logic and review the generated traffic. Identify vulnerabilities in the hardware's operation.

  • Side-Channel Analysis

    • Analyze side-channel signals generated by the hardware to extract sensitive information. Identify risks associated with devices used to store or transmit sensitive information.

  • Physical Pentesting

    • Physically test the security of the hardware, attempting to access the hardware's internal components or bypass physical security measures. Identify physical vulnerabilities in the hardware.

  • Tamper Protection Bypass

    • Attempt to bypass tamper protection measures that may be in place.

    • Attempt to bypass case ground fuse triggers.

  • Hardware-Based Attacks

    • Use specialized knowledge and tools to exploit any vulnerabilities in the hardware, including buffer overflows, firmware bugs, or hardware misconfigurations.

  • Secure Key Management

    • Verify that cryptographic keys and other sensitive data on the hardware are securely stored and managed. Identify any risk associated with devices used to store or transmit sensitive information.
