Open-Source Security Chip Released
spectrum.ieee.org
The first commercial chip based on the OpenTitan hardware security design has hit the market

I was very excited to see that open hardware seems to be happening, despite my perception

But it seems that OpenTitan is somehow connected to Google. And now I’m conflicted

    Unless there’s a bunch of people that create open-source firmware/HAL

    But even if, I think it’s still an improvement. Even if firmware is proprietary, you could flash it on “titan-compatible” chip when yours dies making your device independent from chip ownership etc
