RISC-V: Securing the Future of Open Source Computing
summary
RISC-V security organizes into a published security model that defines threat boundaries and minimum profiles, a running security incident response team, and about eleven SIGs working on concrete features: an enhanced PMP and IO PMP and S-mode MPU, a J-extension for pointer masking, architectural shadow stacks and labelled landing pads for control flow integrity, speculation barriers to limit microarchitectural leakage, a ratified scalar crypto extension with vector crypto awaiting freeze, and an application TEE roadmap toward confidential compute and post‑quantum support.
