Researchers at IOActive have successfully demonstrated a novel attack vector that can extract confidential secrets, including encryption keys, from a Raspberry Pi's antifuse memory. The hack requires specialized equipment and expertise, but highlights the vulnerability of relying solely on antifuse memory for confidentiality.
It’s been quite a year already, for security researchers disclosing groundbreaking research of the hacking variety. What with the, to name but two examples. Now you can add a third: a hack that circumvents high-security protection measures with the potential to extract confidential secrets, including encryption keys, from a Raspberry Pi. Here’s what you need to know and why you shouldn’t be too concerned just yet.
"We're impressed with the work that IOActive have done on extracting secrets directly from the antifuse one-time programmable memory on our microcontroller products,”Eben Upton, CEO at Raspberry Pi said, “this is an innovative approach which likely affects a great many products in the market. Responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities of this sort helps semiconductor vendors like ourselves to build more secure products over time.
