Talk:GID Key

Would this be vulnerable to a cold boot attack?

I really doubt the AES key is ever in memory. This is an attack against drive encryption, not hardware coprocessors. Fault analysis or timing would be our best bet.

Unless you can cause read faults by browning out the chip or the ROM is external, you can't use fault analysis. And if the ROM is external, it would probably be easier to unsolder it and read it directly.

it isn't external

Then the only way to do fault analysis would be to poke around on the chip directly. Is it known whether the die is face-down or face-up on the PCB?
