[Cryptography] attacks on public keys

Literature on fault attacks on signature generation to recover private keys
is plentiful. When it comes to fault attacks targeting signature
verification, literature is scarce and rather old:
- RSA public key: https://eprint.iacr.org/2005/458.pdf
- DSA/ElGamal, "Fault Attacks on Public Key Elements: Application to
DLP-based Schemes"
( available here:

)

For RSA, the 2005 attack is practical it may be as good as it gets. Besides
generic fault attack countermeasures, is there any good countermeasure
against this ?
For DSA, the authors conclude that attacks exist but not practical as is.
This was 10 years ago, is anyone aware of some progress ?
