Electronics Weekly Article: Rambus Launches CryptoManager RISC-V Core

Rambus is selling a programmable hardware security core built with a custom RISC-V CPU which it calls the CryptoManager Root of Trust.
The secure processing core creates a siloed architecture that isolates and secures the execution of sensitive code, processes and algorithms from the primary processor. 
This mitigates the risk of critical vulnerabilities like Meltdown and Spectre and allows designers to optimize the primary processor for high performance, low power, or other characteristics while optimizing security in the siloed core. The CryptoManager Root of Trust is an embedded security core designed for applications from networking to automotive to IoT.
