NewAE Technology Inc. is a small Canadian company that's shaking up the hardware security world by making embedded hardware security research more accessible. We offer affordable, open-source tools that help researchers and engineers do amazing things. Our flagship product, the ChipWhisperer, started as part of our founder Colin O’Flynn’s Ph.D. research and has since grown into a widely used platform for testing new analysis techniques and countermeasures.

​

Even though the ChipWhisperer is open-source and can be built by anyone, NewAE Technology owns the trademark to help ensure quality and keep things consistent for our users. When you buy an official ChipWhisperer, you're getting a product that's been carefully tested in-house — and you're also helping us keep improving the open-source software that powers it.

​

NewAE Technology Inc. manufactures and sells its own products, including the ChipWhisperer and ChipSHOUTER. Mouser Electronics carries almost all NewAE Technology Inc. products, providing easy access to customers around the globe. Many of our products are made right here in Nova Scotia by local contractors, and all final assembly and testing are completed by NewAE Technology Inc. to ensure consistent quality.

​

In 2022, NewAE Technology was acquired by lowRISC C.I.C., a UK-based open-source organization focused on secure, collaborative innovation in silicon development. This partnership brought together two organizations deeply aligned in their mission: advancing open, transparent, and secure hardware. As part of lowRISC, we continue to support and expand our current product offerings while contributing to the OpenTitan project: the first open-source silicon root of trust. Together, we're helping create a more open and secure hardware ecosystem, empowering developers to better understand and defend against real-world side-channel and fault-injection attacks.
