NewAE Technology ChipWhisperer-Lite (CW1173) is a low-cost device designed to allow design engineers and students to conduct Differential Power Analysis (DPA) and explore glitch vulnerabilities in their hardware projects. The ChipWhisperer-Lite is part of an open-source toolchain for embedded hardware security research.
Features
Low-cost, open-source device for testing side-channel power analysis and glitch vulnerabilities in hardware projects10-bit ADC with 105MS/s sampling rate combined with up to +55dB gain amplifier measures small signals easilyAdvanced synchronous clock locking logic samples target power on related clock edges, drastically reducing sample rate requirements compared to power analysis performed with standard oscilloscopesClock and voltage fault injection possible using FPGA-based pulse generationSingle-board solution ideal for teaching and training environmentsBoard design allows easy separation of capture and target for future expansionActs as a programmer for XMEGA (PDI), and STM32Fx (serial bootloader) devices, meaning no external equipment required
