Physical security

nRF54LM20A | nRF54LM20B Datasheet

The device has countermeasures for physical attacks. It can detect and report fault injection attacks such as voltage glitching or electromagnetic fault injection.

The external active shield I/O interface is provided to facilitate PCB and product level security. It can detect if a product's encapsulation has been opened, or if the product has been tampered with. For more information, see TAMPC — Tamper controller.

The crypto accelerator (CRACEN) peripheral is protected against differential power analysis (DPA) attacks. The AES and public key acceleration engines all have countermeasures against DPA attacks and will report attack attempts. For more information, see CRACEN — Cryptographic accelerator engine.
