eShard is a French cybersecurity SME based in Pessac that specializes in the cybersecurity of embedded systems. The products developed by eShard enable security testing of both hardware (chips) and software.
esDynamic enables the assessment of component robustness:
Resistance to physical attacks (Side-Channel Attacks):
- esDynamic allows armed forces and manufacturers to evaluate whether a chip leaks cryptographic keys via electromagnetic emissions or power consumption.
- Resistance to fault injection (EMFI, Laser, Glitching): esDynamic enables the simulation or execution of attacks using electromagnetic pulses, lasers, or voltage glitches to verify if a military component can be compromised during a physical hacking attempt and to validate its response to an attack.
- Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): the esDynamic offering includes testing chips against physical attacks targeting new post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.
esReverse offers advanced analysis capabilities:
- Embedded system analysis (Defense forensics): Dissecting the internal workings of seized software, firmware, or electronic equipment to identify functionalities, origins, or flaws.
- Vulnerability research assistance (Zero-Day Research): Analyzing binary code without access to source code to detect critical flaws in command and control (C2), avionics, or telecommunications systems.
- Vulnerability or malware analysis: Replaying the execution of an attack or complex program—down to the individual instruction level—to analyze the exact sequence of a cyber intrusion.
Service offerings:
- Skills development and expert services: In addition to software platforms, eShard offers advanced training and bespoke audits.
- Cyber analyst training: Specialized masterclasses to train audit and cyber-defense teams in fault injection, binary reverse engineering, and physical analysis techniques.
- Support and qualification lab: Ad-hoc laboratory assessment of sensitive systems and support for sovereign security certification processes.
