Summary Most Encryption Units are that hardly highly sensitive intelligence data are implemented using significant amounts of hardware. Through long experience, the failure modes of such systems are well understood. Mechanisms that are protecting the sensitive information contained in these systems from failure are about well understood. The equivalent mechanisms for software based encryption systems are not known. The goal of this research is to apply some newly discovered modeling techniques to try some of the hardware failure modes and protections mechanisms into the software implementations.
