>4.3 The Swivel Chair Attack

>If we assume whoever integrates the payload into an IHSM has done adequate work and prevented all contactless attacks, we are left with attacks that aim at mechanically bypassing the IHSM’s security mesh. The first type of attack we will consider is the most basic of all attacks: a human attacker holding a soldering iron trying to rotate herself along with the mesh using a very fast swivel chair.

this is amazing. is there an ig nobel for computer science?




4.8 Fast and violent was my favorite.

Aim and fire a gun at just the right moment in space and time so as to destroy the circuit onboard that is in charge of data deletion.

would be wild to see that project.
