NewAE ChipWhisperer-HuskyPlus Side-Channel Analysis Platform

Description

The NewAE NAE-HUSKYPLUS ChipWhisperer-HuskyPlus represents a significant evolution in hardware security research tools, designed to provide researchers and developers with a powerful platform for uncovering vulnerabilities in embedded systems. This advanced system integrates high-speed data acquisition with precision fault injection capabilities, making it indispensable for thorough side-channel analysis and robust security assessments. Its enhanced architecture delivers faster ADC sampling, a larger sample buffer, and extended triggering options, enabling more complex and precise analysis workflows.

Equipped with a 12-bit 250 MS/s Analog-to-Digital Converter, the HuskyPlus captures transient power traces with high fidelity, crucial for sensitive side-channel attacks. The substantial 327,828-sample buffer ensures comprehensive data collection for various cryptographic implementations. Beyond passive analysis, it offers sophisticated voltage and clock glitching mechanisms, including a crowbar circuit for voltage glitches and a sub-nanosecond resolution phase-shift architecture for clock glitches, facilitating active fault injection attacks. The integrated Artix A100 FPGA provides ample resources for custom logic and high-performance processing, ensuring the platform can adapt to evolving research demands.
