Been doing a lot of stuff lately. Managed to squeeze the start of the rvecc608 project, building a drop-in replacement for the atecc608. If regulators asking you too many questions about cryptography in your products, help me make this a reality! github.com/gili-yankovi...

Does anybody uses an ATECC608 here? I remember trying to acquire it a few years ago and being asked too many questions to my liking.
Maybe it's time to create an open source replacement? #Hardware #Embedded #Cryptography #OpenSource

So apparently neither the rp2040 nor the rp2350 support readout protection. Interestingly, 0.1$ MCUs such as ch32v003 or puny Atmels (328p) HAVE THAT. WTF? I've started implementing these to provide root-of-trust: github.com/gili-yankovi...

Scope creep is a thing. I learned it the HARD WAY. I'll be sharing my thoughts and journey in the form of a video soon but in the meantime...

Back home. #38c3 was INSANE. Can't wait 'till next year!! It was amazing seeing everyone and making new friends!
See you all soon ❤️

HERE WE GO!
I created the Sword Of Secrets! It's a hardware capture the flag challenge for hardware geeks!

First teaser dropped: youtube.com/shorts/-wI73...

Seeing MANY regulations and standards now require secure boot, thinking about starting a wide-support OSS project for root-of-trust for any microcontroller in existence simply implementing a standard for Write/Readout Protection. Who's with me? #Embedded #Security #EmbeddedSecurity #SecureBoot

Working on my next HW project! SwordOfSecrets is now ONLINE with a virtual challenge @ gili-yankovitch.github.io/SwordOfSecre... Will be attending #38c3 to hand out the challenge to willing testers.
