Using photonic emission to develop electromagnetic emission models

A method, comprising:

• executing one or more programs on a target device;
• recording data of photonic emissions of the target device using Picosecond Imaging Circuit Analysis (PICA) during a first period of time with the target device in one or more modes;
• recording data of electromagnetic emissions of the target device during the first period of time with the target device in the one or more modes;
• correlating the recorded data of the photonic emissions having a high spatial resolution and the recorded data of the electromagnetic emissions that is location independent to establish one or more electromagnetic emission models for the target device;
• and
• identifying an anomaly condition associated with the one or more programs executed on the target device comprising identifying a change in execution of the one or more programs by one or more circuit blocks of an integrated circuit of the target device, activation of a malware on the target device, or both.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a photonic emission measurement unit configured to measure and record data of photonic emissions of a target device with the target device in one or more modes;
• an electromagnetic emission measurement unit configured to measure and record data of electromagnetic emissions of the target device during an execution of one or more programs on the target device, with the target device in the one or more modes;
• a data analysis unit configured to analyze the recorded data of the photonic emissions and the recorded data of the electromagnetic emissions to provide an analysis result;
• and
• a control unit configured to perform operations comprising:
• applying one or more inputs of electrical stimuli to an integrated circuit of the target device to place the target device in the one or more modes to perform one or more operations in at least one mode of the one or more modes;
• correlating the recorded data of the photonic emissions having a high spatial resolution and the recorded data of the electromagnetic emissions that is location independent, based on the analysis result to establish one or more electromagnetic emission models for the target device;
• and
• identifying an anomaly condition associated with the one or more programs executed on the target device comprising identifying a change in execution of the one or more programs by one or more circuit blocks of an integrated circuit of the target device, activation of a malware on the target device, or both.
