Differential fault analysis matters if:

1) Someone can make the device fail, physically, to perform operations
   properly (ex: glitching the power to, or microwaving, a smart card).

2) It's a problem if that person finds out the key (i.e. it's not
   theirs).

This is generally only the case with physical access by a person who
doesn't set the key - for example, in satellite TV cards, smart cards,
DRM, and when deploying an encryption device to a forward location on
the battlefield.

I think you're talking about this?
