ChipJuice

ChipJuice is an advanced tool developed by Texplained for the detailed reverse engineering of integrated circuits. It is specifically designed to facilitate comprehensive IC analysis, allowing users to conduct thorough explorations within a chip's internal structure. ChipJuice supports activities such as digital forensic investigations, security assessments, and technology intelligence, among others, providing unrivaled insights into hardware architecture. The tool is engineered for ease of use without sacrificing performance, featuring intuitive workflows that make netlist extraction fast and straightforward. ChipJuice's versatility allows it to handle any chip variant, irrespective of size, technology node, or material, ensuring applicability across diverse chip types including microcontrollers, microprocessors, and SoCs. Its smart design incorporates automated standard cell research, which expedites the analysis process by recognizing and cataloging cell occurrences, thus streamlining future studies. Among its capabilities, ChipJuice efficiently recovers a chip's architectural layout into formats like Netlist, GDSII, and Verilog files, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the device's design. Its unique strength lies in not only reconstructing physical netlists but also localizing nodes directly on the chip, facilitating quick signal tracing and annotation. This makes ChipJuice an indispensable asset for labs, researchers, and chip developers who need in-depth, reliable chip analysis.

NVM Defender

NVM Defender is a pioneering hardware module focused on safeguarding integrated circuits from common invasive attacks that aim to extract non-volatile memory (NVM). This solution provides protection against unauthorized replication, emulation, cloning, and counterfeiting by being self-aware, detecting attacks instantly, and employing a structure that resists bypass attempts. NVM Defender ensures 'Security by Design,' offering a robust protective measure that chip makers and integrators can deploy to protect their intellectual assets seamlessly. Throughout the years, Texplained has discovered that many components remain vulnerable to NVM code extraction. This necessity led to the development of the NVM Defender, a hardware-only countermeasure that strengthens security against such attacks. Unlike conventional solutions which often rely on software and may fail under comprehensive invasive attacks, NVM Defender's hardware-centric approach guarantees that even if the ICs architecture secrets are exposed, code extraction remains impractical. The module not only serves to secure embedded software and cryptographic keys but also effectively safeguards personal data embedded within chips, making it a sought-after solution in today's security-conscious environment. NVM Defender stands out for being user-friendly and cost-effective while maintaining a high level of security that deters both physical and remote attempts of intrusion.
