The Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) supported Communications Security Lab's equipment update in 2005 and 2006.
Our Tektronix DPO 7104 Oscilloscope supports 1GHz bandwidth and 20GS/s (single channel), four channels, network connectivity, on-screen zoom, and complex triggering capabilities. The Tektronix passive probe P6139A and differential probe P6248 are used to acquire power traces during the operations of cryptographic devices.
Our new SuperServer 5086B-TRF from Supermicro Computer Inc. features eight x Intel® Xeon® 10-core CPU at 2.13GHz, 64 x 8GB DDR3 RAM, 14 x Seagate SAS 1TB, and two x Tesla C2070 GPUs for high performance cryptographic computations and cryptanalysis.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
