ZzeroRISC commercializes OpenTitan open-source silicon Root of Trust to deliver a full-stack security solution with silicon, software, and cloud services through the Integrity Management Platform. The platform verifies at boot that a device runs only authorized code, creating an immutable silicon fingerprint and letting owners enforce security policies via software rather than relying on manufacturers. It differentiates itself by offering end-to-end security tooling—silicon plus embedded OS and cloud management—rather than just supplying chips, targeting data centers, ICS/OT, IoT, and edge environments as an identity-as-a-service. The goal is to make foundational hardware security transparent and accessible, giving device owners centralized control and verifiable boot integrity across complex deployments.

ZeroRISC has released a complete open-source cryptographic hardware and software stack for both classical and post-quantum operations. The release includes the Cryptolib embedded cryptography library, an Asymmetric Cryptography Coprocessor, and hardware accelerators for symmetric operations. The multi-year collaboration with research institutions achieved 6–9x speedups for ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms whilst improving maximum operating frequency by 36–75% with near-zero area cost. Memory optimisations reduced ML-DSA stack usage by over 90%. Cryptolib supports classical algorithms including AES, SHA2/SHA3, RSA and elliptic curve cryptography, alongside NIST-standardised post-quantum algorithms ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA. The consortium will present results at Real World Crypto 2026 in Taipei on 9 March, demonstrating production-grade post-quantum cryptography for embedded systems.
ZeroRISC, the leading open-source silicon supply chain integrity solution, today announced the appointment of Zakir Durumeric, Stanford Professor and Censys Founder, and David Gammon, CEO & founder of Rockspring, to its Board of Directors.
ZeroRISC announced the close of its oversubscribed seed round with $10 million in new funding, led by Fontinalis Partners.
ZeroRISC, a silicon supply chain integrity solutions startup, raised $10M to expand its open-source silicon security platform. Founded by Dominic Rizzo in 2023, ZeroRISC offers a commercial-grade chip based on the OpenTitan root of trust and an Integrity Management Platform. The platform includes silicon hardware, embedded software, and cloud tools, with post-quantum cryptography for future-proof security. The funding round was led by Fontinalis Partners, with participation from several investors.
