How Winners are Chosen

• Submissions will be reviewed by the NewAE Technology Inc. team. Prizes will be awarded based on project merit and how applicable the submission is to the ChipWhisperer project and the greater embedded security community (though thumbs up/hearts may guide our decision-making).
• One entry per person. The contest closes on December 31, 2021. See Rules and Regulations.

Additional Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open only to 18+. The contest entry period ends December 31, 2021, 11:59 pm AT. Contest is void where prohibited or restricted by law or regulation. For Official Rules, see Contest Official Rules.

Technical Details on Targets

You'll have a CW305 with Artix A35 to work with (see https://rtfm.newae.com/Targets/CW305%20Artix%20FPGA/) along with a Capture board (the new ChipWhisperer-Husky).

The CW305 board has a AES Getting Started Whitepaper about using the AES example, see that whitepaper for more details about the board. The version in the contest has the Artix A35 FPGA (there is two sizes). You can also see our ECC Paper which has associated source-code available.

If you haven't done much with power analysis before we're including a copy of a book & our ChipWhisperer.io training as well. Hopefully it means even if you haven't done this hands-on before you can still give it a shot!

Depending on stock we're trying to provide some additional targets to the winner - we can't gaurantee anything yet, but you may have a CW308 board with target to work with, or something else similar to it.
