Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed what they claim is an ‘unhackable’ self-encrypting processor based on the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA).
The open nature of the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA), one of a growing number of free and open source silicon (FOSSi) ISAs designed to bring competition to proprietary architectures like x86 and Arm, makes it well-suited to use in research projects. Most of these projects concentrate on creating highly-scalable designs, but researchers at the University of Michigan have opted to concentrate on security – creating an ‘unhackable’ processor, a claim which sounds like a challenge to security researchers the world over.
