Google's OpenTitan: Open-Source Security Chip Enters Production

Google announced that its open-source security chip, OpenTitan, has entered production. This marks the first commercially available open-source silicon Root of Trust (RoT), designed to enhance device security by offering transparency and open collaboration to address the "black box" nature of proprietary solutions. OpenTitan will be used in Chromebooks and Google's cloud infrastructure, and is expected to drive broader industry adoption of open designs and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) secure boot.
