Open-Source Hardware Security: From Lab Experiments to Commercial Reality
summary
Chromebooks ship with a hard silicon implementation of the OpenTitan secure element and some servers include the embedded OpenTitan; Trezor integrates a Tropic Squared secure element, and these projects move from 5–10 years of research into consumer devices available on Amazon in 2026. Work includes mask ROM imaging to reproduce commercial mask ROM designs, and the codebase is auditable so contributors can make post-quantum pull requests that can land in future products.
