Because of side-channel and fault attacks, theoretically secure primitives were vulnerable when implemented in practice. Such a wide range of attacks, for instance, those that target electromagnetic radiations, power consumption, or execution time, often target tiny platforms like microchips. Physical security has assumed a prominent role in research because of the large rise of embedded devices dealing with sensitive information from various disciplines and the exponential increase in the number of linked devices from the Internet of Things. Intelligent networks may be used and controlled effectively due to the connectedness and accessibility of their sensors. However, because sensor networks are publicly accessible, outside assaults are possible. Due to these flaws, we must implement certain security measures to prevent issues brought on by contact with adversarial agents. These precautions are especially required for smart grids, which are crucial in addition to the availability of the electrical system itself. The assets that make up these networks must thus be protected since they are considered important infrastructures. This Special Issue's objective is to offer the basis for debate and development toward improving IoT security and functional safety characteristics and their developing applications. This IoT revolution has helped a variety of vertical industries as well as industrial organizations. Still, it has also opened up the previously unheard-of potential for exploiting new attack vectors. The issue will concentrate on cutting-edge IoT Fault Injection Attacks methods that consider the security of individual devices and the grid-connected network. TOPICS:
