United Kingdom-based open source silicon designs and tools developer lowRISC C.I.C. has acquired silicon security analysis tools designer and manufacturer NewAE Technology, Inc., the organization said.

The acquisition brings added momentum to lowRISC, whose OpenTitan project a collaboration between lowRISC, Google, Western Digital, Seagate and other commercial and academic partners has created the first transparent, high-quality reference design and integration guidelines for silicon root of trust chips.

As an open source project, OpenTitan enables the larger community to proactively audit, evaluate and dramatically improve the security properties of the chip design.

With the addition of NewAE Technology's advanced hardware security analysis tools, OpenTitan's community of partners will now be able to conduct side-channel power analysis and fault injection attacks to uncover vulnerabilities in physical security implementations of their own silicon.

Founded in 2014, NewAE Technology built the first commercially supported open source toolchain for advanced hardware security evaluation, including side-channel analysis and fault injection.

Its signature product, ChipWhisperer, is an open source toolchain that provides a standardized capture tool for testing new analysis algorithms in real time along with countermeasures to expose weaknesses that exist in embedded systems.

As such, this acquisition will enable lowRISC to develop and evaluate digital...
