>the only software-based fault exploit Plundervolt came out around the same time and is similar, the authors may not have known about each other.

Also came here wondering how it relates to this.

I only read a little bit of voltpwn, but plundervolt is really cool. In one of the attacks, a fault is caused in the RSA scheme initialization, leading to reduced strength that can be broken. I guess a similar attack is possible with AES, but i dont understand it as well.
