Functional susceptibility of COTS devices to IEMI at local and large-scale levels

Electromagnetic Security refers to the compliance of electronic devices with Information Security requirements with regards to EMC/EMI issues. 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 by parasitic fields.
