How Pavona Composes Secure Silicon Aligned With FIPS 140-3 Standards

GlobalPlatform has launched Pavona, an open-source silicon distribution featuring the first openly available post-quantum cryptography stack for embedded silicon, and is backed by twelve founding members including Agile Analog, Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), Baochip, CrossBar, Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy, Meta, University of Oxford, SIMPLE Crypto Association, Qualcomm Technologies, Tenstorrent, Winbond, and ZeroRISC. The initiative delivers certification-ready IP components and reference designs, including a standalone chip root of trust and an integrated root of trust for chiplet architectures, fabricated using TSMC 3nm (N3) technology. Pavona utilizes a composable framework aligned with FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria standards, enabling a modular approach to building secure silicon for applications ranging from datacenters to IoT devices. Stephane Di Vito, Head of Product Security Architecture at Analog Devices, highlights how Pavona complements their existing security foundations, providing “certification-aligned production-grade IP into digital and mixed-signal designs without compromising flexibility…
