1. A method for characterizing power distribution network-based fault injection vulnerabilities in an integrated circuit (IC) comprising:
delivering a series of repeated power distribution network-based fault injection attacks comprising a plurality of faults;
capturing, by an array of sensors forming part of the IC, effects of the faults, the captured effects corresponding to instantaneous voltage measurements by such sensors; and
generating, based on the captured effects of the fault, a vulnerability map visually identifying locations of vulnerable locations in the IC.
