Ibex® is a production-quality open-source 32-bit RISC-V CPU core written in SystemVerilog
- Formally verified
- In production
- Hardened against SCA and FI
- Permissively Licensed (Apache 2.0)
- Used as the basis for the CHERIoT-Ibex CHERI enabled core
OpenTitan®, the world’s first open-source silicon root of trust, offers commercial-grade security in a transparent, verified and flexible design.
- World’s most active open-source silicon project
- Secure by design – not obscurity
- Designed for certification: FIPS, NIST and CC
- Hardened against SCA and FI
- Standalone SoC or integrated as a Secure Enclave
- In production for Google Chromebooks and datacentres
- Roadmap for full post-quantum cryptography
- Permissively Licensed (Apache 2.0)
OpenTitan IP is used extensively as the basis for blocks within Caliptra.
lowRISC is helping to develop Caliptra by providing expertise in security, block level design, integration and design verification.
Cosmic Project
CHERI for Operational Safety in Memory-Isolated Cores
The COSMIC Project, led by lowRISC® and partnering with Capabilities Limited, is backed by the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and InnovateUK.
CHERI is a technology that has now reached the point it can be used in production grade chips. lowRISC will undertake, as part of this project, to deliver open source, reference 64-bit CHERI capable designs to cut down the time to market for commercial adoption. A self-funded, large, multinational technology organisation will investigate utilising the designs for two distinct use-cases that each address multi-billion dollar markets. lowRISC have also entered into preliminary discussions with multiple other organisations, several of which are keen to use the designs produced.
