EMC/EMI and Functional Safety: Methodology to characterize effects of interferences on devices

Electromagnetic Security refers to the compliance of electronic devices with Information Security requirements with regards to EMC/EMI issues, and has important implications where there are Functional Safety or other risks to be managed. In this study, the resilience and the integrity of electronic devices are the topics of interests. Many studies were devoted to the analysis and the classification of failures and damages by electromagnetic interferences induced on commercial off-the-shelf devices. Specific health monitoring software is highly recommended to get a fine-grain classification of effects induced by intentional or unintentional parasitic fields. We propose here to demonstrate the pertinence of the proposed approach for detecting potential failures induced on computers and smartphones by parasitic fields.
