Cakupan	Dampak	Kemungkinan
Integrity Authentication	Varies by Context, Unexpected State Catatan: This may result in a weakness when the starting state of the volatile memory is being relied upon for a security decision. Consequences of this weakness are highly contextual.	Low

Mitigasi yang Memungkinkan

Phases : Architecture and Design
The system should account for security primitive behavior when cooled outside standard temperatures.

Pola Serangan Terkait

CAPEC ID	Nama Pola Serangan
CAPEC-624	Hardware Fault Injection The adversary uses disruptive signals or events, or alters the physical environment a device operates in, to cause faulty behavior in electronic devices. This can include electromagnetic pulses, laser pulses, clock glitches, ambient temperature extremes, and more. When performed in a controlled manner on devices performing cryptographic operations, this faulty behavior can be exploited to derive secret key information.
CAPEC-625	Mobile Device Fault Injection Fault injection attacks against mobile devices use disruptive signals or events (e.g. electromagnetic pulses, laser pulses, clock glitches, etc.) to cause faulty behavior. When performed in a controlled manner on devices performing cryptographic operations, this faulty behavior can be exploited to derive secret key information. Although this attack usually requires physical control of the mobile device, it is non-destructive, and the device can be used after the attack without any indication that secret keys were compromised.
