Digital forensic investigations often rely on software-based tools to access and extract information from electronic devices. But what happens when encryption, secure boot, locked interfaces, or hardware-backed security mechanisms prevent conventional methods from reaching the data investigators need?

As modern devices become increasingly protected at the hardware level, forensic teams need new techniques to investigate security mechanisms and explore potential paths to otherwise inaccessible information.

In this webinar, Keysight Device Security experts explore how hardware security testing can extend digital forensic capabilities beyond traditional software-based approaches. Through practical examples involving encrypted storage, mobile devices, automotive electronics, and other embedded systems, we'll discuss how techniques such as Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) and Fault Injection (FI) can help investigators understand and investigate hardware-level protections.

We'll also examine what it takes to establish an in-house hardware security testing lab, from selecting the right equipment and tools to developing the expertise and repeatable workflows needed for forensic investigations. The session will conclude with a technical demonstration illustrating how these techniques can be applied in practice.
