    OpenTitan: Open source silicon root of trust

  • Interesting to see more potential entrants into this space. I work on OpenTitan https://opentitan.org/ which I believe will do much (indeed maybe everything) of what Cramium and Bunnie are aiming for (of course being a stealth startup hard to know what their plans actually are). We're at an advanced stage of development and being open you can take a look at our work right now https://github.com/lowRISC/OpenTitan our nightly regression dashboards demonstrate the project's maturity https://reports.opentitan.org/hw/top_earlgrey/dv/latest/repo... and https://reports.opentitan.org/hw/top_earlgrey/dv/summary/lat...

  • SmartPGP

    SmartPGP is a JavaCard implementation of the OpenPGP card specifications

  • > There shouldn't be such a thing as an "OpenPGP smartcard" (yet there is), there should just be generic programmable smartcards I can program with an application of my choice.

    That's in fact very possible! I've been doing just that, i.e. running an open source implementation [1] of the OpenPGP smartcard standard [2] on a physical card to which I have the root keys.

    The card specifications themselves are presumably behind NDAs, though, so I do have to trust the vendor to not have built in anything nefarious, e.g. a predictable/keyed RNG.
