SUMMARY:Shooting Falcon with One Fault: A Practical Rowhammer-based Fault 
 Attack against Falcon
DESCRIPTION:Zihao Xin (Zhejiang University); Xin Zhang (Peking University)

 sity); Ruyi Ding (Louisiana State University); Yixin Jiang, Wenqian Xu, an

 Zhejiang Province; Alibaba-Zhejiang University Joint Research Institute of
  Frontier Technologies;ZJU-Hangzhou Global Scientific and Technological In
 novation Center; Jiaxing Research Institute, Zhejiang University)\n\nFalco
 n, a compact post-quantum digital signature scheme, has been selected by N
 ational Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the standardizati
 on of post-quantum cryptography. While it effectively mitigates the emergi
 ng quantum threats, its susceptibly to fault attacks remains insufficientl
 y understood. In this work, we present a novel Rowhammer-based fault attac
 k against Falcon with only one single-bit flip, significantly reduces the 
 number of required faulty signatures by 800× compared to the state-of-the-
 art attack.  Our solution identifies a new vulnerable address offset in Fa
 lcon and optimizes the classical Hidden Parallelepiped Problem (HPP) attac
 k. Our end-to-end attack on the Falcon-512 reference implementation succes
 sfully recovers the secret key with only 250k faulty signatures.\n\nTopics
