RISC-V Architecture and Security Applications

Normal 0 21 false false false EN-US AR-SA Do you want to take full advantage of an open processor platform for your security applications? This 1-day masterclass explains the basics of the RISC-V architecture in a self-contained fashion and will present examples of its use for security applications.

The rise of RISC-V brought new opportunities for designers and engineers that need security. RISC-V can, in fact, be modified and extended to provide advanced security features or to accelerate specific cryptographic algorithms. In this masterclass, after an introduction to the fundamentals of the RISC-V architecture and a demonstration of a tool chain to use it, you will learn the most common attacks that are targeting the platform and the main mechanisms to counteract these threats. You will also familiarize yourself with the concept of instruction set extension and you will learn how it can be used to enhance the security functionalities of RISC-V.


More in detail, this masterclass will provide:

  • An introduction to the RISC-V architecture

  • An example of the RISC-V toolchain

  • Attacks on RISC-V

  • Protections on RISC-V

  • Instruction Set Extension for security in RISC-V

  • A quick highlight of some research activities in the domain of RISC-V security

After this masterclass you will:

  • Understand the fundamentals of the RISC-V architecture
  • Understand the fundamentals of the RISC-V programming tool chain and be able to use it
  • Learn the state of the art in attacks against RISC-V
  • Learn the state of the art of protections in RISC-V
  • Understand the concepts of Instruction Set Extension by means of an example
