Technology Built for Silicon-Level Trust

Every layer of the zeroRISC platform is designed from first principles for RISC-V hardware security.

Hardware Security Without Compromise

The zeroRISC platform delivers a complete security stack from the silicon up. Our RISC-V-native root of trust provides cryptographic anchoring that cannot be bypassed at the software layer, giving you a verifiable foundation for all higher-level security guarantees.

Open Security Architecture

Security through obscurity is not security. The zeroRISC threat model is fully documented and auditable. Our open security architecture means your team can verify every claim we make — and the broader community can find and fix vulnerabilities before adversaries do.

10-Line Integration

Deep-tech security should not require a six-month integration project. The zeroRISC SDK exposes a clean, well-documented API that lets your firmware team integrate hardware root of trust functionality in hours, not months. Our primitives are designed to compose cleanly with existing RISC-V toolchains.

Built for Real-World Use Cases

From edge sensors to critical infrastructure, zeroRISC secures the embedded systems that matter most.

Embedded IoT sensor circuit board

Embedded IoT

Secure every node in your IoT network with hardware-anchored identity and attestation. zeroRISC ensures each device can prove it has not been tampered with — at scale, without per-device keys.

Edge computing server rack

Edge Computing

Edge deployments face threats that cloud environments never encounter: physical access, hostile supply chains, and constrained update cycles. zeroRISC provides the silicon-level foundation these environments need.

Critical infrastructure facility aerial view

Critical Infrastructure

Power grids, water systems, and industrial control networks demand security that cannot fail. Our platform provides the verifiable trust anchors that critical infrastructure operators require from modern embedded systems.

Latest Research

Advancing the State of Hardware Security

The zeroRISC team publishes peer-reviewed research on RISC-V security, root of trust architectures, and verified firmware. Our findings drive the platform forward and contribute to the open security community.
