Open Source is no longer just for software: (osc25)

Chaos Computer Club - recent events feed (high quality)

Open-source software has transformed the software industry, resulting in lower costs, greater security, and much greater flexibility for software developers and end users alike. The transparency provided by open-source software has improved security dramatically. Companies cannot hide back-doors in open-source software. Open solutions allow widespread review and testing, resulting in improved software quality and security. While there are a few open-source hardware projects, most notably RISC-V, most hardware remains proprietary and closed-source. Engineers developing new products often use chips that are black-boxes. This is particularly problematic when developing solutions using hardware secure elements, small security chips used in IoT devices, crypto hardware wallets, mobile devices, industrial control systems, and other small devices. Developers have no visibility into the implementation of these devices, and cannot validate their security. In this presentation we will cover: Challenges with closed source hardware secure elements: Our experience with closed source secure elements (and the problems we found) Benefits of open source/open architecture hardware secure elements: Transparency, trust, and auditability Rapid response to vulnerabilities Community collaboration and innovation Compliance & certification Get your devkit at the workshop or order here and start playing! :) https://145324096.hs-sites-eu1.com/samples-order-form Documentation and tools: https://github.com/tropicsquare Licensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ about this event: https://c3voc.de
