Fault injection and dependability evaluation of fault-tolerant systems

IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1993
The authors describe a dependability evaluation method based on fault injection that establishes the link between the experimental evaluation of the fault tolerance process and the fault occurrence process. The main characteristics of a fault injection test sequence aimed at evaluating the coverage of the fault tolerance process are presented. Emphasis

Finding fault with fault injection: an empirical exploration of distortion in fault injection experiments

Software Quality Journal, 2014
It has become well established that software will never become bug free, which has spurred research in mechanisms to contain faults and recover from them. Since such mechanisms deal with faults, fault injection is necessary to evaluate their effectiveness.

Statistical Fault Injection

2008 IEEE International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks With FTCS and DCC (DSN), 2008
A method for statistical fault injection (SFI) into arbitrary latches within a full system hardware-emulated model is validated against particle-beam-accelerated SER testing for a modern microprocessor. As performed on the IBM POWER6 microprocessor, SFI is capable of distinguishing between error handling states associated with the injected bit flip ...

Faults, Injection Methods, and Fault Attacks

IEEE Design & Test of Computers, 2007
An active attacker can induce errors during the computation of the cryptographic algorithm and exploit the faulty results to extract information about the secret key in embedded systems. We call this kind of attack a fault attack. Fault attacks can break an unprotected system more quickly than any other kind of side-channel attack such as simple power ...

Fault injection acceleration by simultaneous injection of non-interacting faults

Proceedings of the 53rd Annual Design Automation Conference, 2016
Fault injection is the de facto standard for evaluating the sensitivity of digital systems to transient errors. Due to various masking effects only a very small portion of the injected faults lead to system-level failures, and hence, too many faults have to be injected for achieving statistically meaningful results. At the same time, since the majority

Fault injection for formal testing of fault tolerance

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1996
This study addresses the use of fault injection for explicitly removing design/implementation faults in complex fault-tolerance algorithms and mechanisms (FTAM), viz, fault-tolerance deficiency faults. A formalism is introduced to represent the FTAM by a set of assertions.

Fault injection for the formal testing of fault tolerance

[1992] Digest of Papers. FTCS-22: The Twenty-Second International Symposium on Fault-Tolerant Computing, 2003
The authors address the issue of the use of fault injection for explicitly removing design/implementation faults in fault tolerance algorithms and mechanisms. A formalism is introduced that represents the fault tolerance algorithms and mechanisms by means of a set of assertions. This formalism enables the execution tree to be presented, where each path

On the emulation of software faults by software fault injection

Proceeding International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks. DSN 2000, 2002
This paper presents an experimental study on the emulation of software faults by fault injection. In a first experiment, a set of real software faults has been compared with faults injected by a SWIFI tool (Xception) to evaluate the accuracy of the injected faults. Results revealed the limitations of Xception (and other SWIFI tools) in the emulation of

Fault injection for the masses

Computer, 1997
The key technology that the author would like to see adopted by the masses is a family of software fault injection algorithms that can predict where to concentrate testing. From a novelty standpoint, these algorithms were (and still are) unique among other methods of performing fault injection. The author concedes that the algorithms are computational,

Generic Fault Modelling for Fault Injection

2011
Fault injection is a widely used experimental dependability validation method, with a vast amount of techniques and tools. Within the scope of MOGENTES, an EU 7th framework programme project, tools have been developed which implements three different fault injection techniques; hardware-implemented fault injection, software-implemented fault injection ...
