{"code":"XRSVFD","title":"Tropic Square and TROPIC01: Open Security Validations","speakers":["HVWZK3"],"submission_type":31,"track":32,"tags":[],"state":"confirmed","abstract":"The prevailing approach in today's chip design is closed-source. This approach was recently challenged by the broader open-hardware movement, where Tropic Square is positioned as the first supplier of an open-architecture, auditable, secure element chip available on the market - TROPIC01.\r\n\r\nIn the IC industry, both trust and security are challenging. Chips developed under the closed-source paradigm are black boxes. Despite design secrecy, cybercrime can exploit undocumented features and vulnerabilities. Cryptographers, security experts, and academia demand transparency and auditability to move beyond blind trust. Opening the design at least to the level that enables auditability leads to verifiable Security by Design and strengthens trust.\r\n\r\nWith our partners across academia and independent labs, we delivered a batch of security validation reports. By this approach we are trying to set-up a new baseline showcasing that an open security validation model is viable in the challenging IC design domain.","duration":45,"slot_count":1,"attendee_signup_required":null,"attendee_signup_capacity":null,"signup_status":null,"content_locale":"en","do_not_record":false,"image":null,"resources":[],"slots":[7931],"answers":[253]}
