Description
The hardware device, or the firmware running on it, is
missing or has incorrect protection mechanisms to maintain
goals of security primitives when the device is cooled below
standard operating temperatures.
Common consequences
• Integrity, Authentication: Varies by Context, Unexpected State — This may result in a weakness when the
starting state of the volatile memory is being
relied upon for a security decision. Consequences
of this weakness are highly contextual.
Potential mitigations
• [Architecture and Design] The system should account for security primitive behavior when cooled outside standard temperatures.
