Fault attacks exploit fault injection techniques to compromise cryptographic systems, compromising device operations and leaking secret keys. Lightweight block cipher algorithms are suitable for resource-constrained environments, ensuring security while reducing hardware and software overhead. This paper summarizes the current research status of fault attacks on some lightweight cryptographic algorithms, including block ciphers, stream ciphers, etc. These studies are crucial for addressing system vulnerabilities, protecting personal privacy, and enhancing the stability of embedded systems. The aim of this paper is to provide comprehensive references for cryptographers, assisting in selecting suitable algorithms and defense strategies.
