Worth pointing out OpenTitan (which I work on) here: www.opentitan.org, www.github.com/lowrisc/opentitan
It's an open silicon root of trust. All the RTL (systemverilog code that describes the hardware), DV (design verification, which is used to demonstrate the functional correctness of the design so you are confident in building a chip with it), documentation and software is open source and available on the repo linked above.
Being able to trust your root of trust is obviously vital and current implementations are proprietary and heavy NDAs required to get any more detail. With OpenTitan you can go as deep as you want to understand what's actually going on.

- klysm 3y agoI mean of course it is? I’m not sure what you mean by “still”. I don’t see how it could ever be aimed at your average hacker.
- RealityVoid 3y agoGive it some time. I think it's possible that sometime down the line you'll get asics the same way you get PCB's ordered now.
