Kungekudala iindaba zaqhekeka ukuba uGoogle ubambisene neenkampani ezininzi yetekhnoloji ukuphuhlisa iichips zemithombo ekhuselekileyo nevulekileyo. Injongo yomdibaniso omtsha kukwenza uyilo lwe-chip yomelele ekusebenziseni amaziko edatha, iiseva kunye nemida efakwe kwiindawo ezibalulekileyo.
Iprojekthi ibizwa ngokuba yi-OpenTitan, inyathelo lomthombo ovulekileyo eliyilwe ukukhuthaza uphuhliso lweteknoloji ebizwa ngokuba yi-Root of Trus (ROT). yamaziko edatha kunye nezixhobo zabathengi. Inkampani iceba ukuyisebenzisa kwiifowuni zayo ezisekwe kwi-Android, kunye nezixhobo ezahlukeneyo zokhuseleko lwezixhobo.
UGoogle watsho I-OpenTitan iya kulawulwa luluntu lwaseLowRisc. Abalingani baquka i-ETH Zurich, i-G + D yoKhuseleko lweSelfowuni, iTekhnoloji yeNuvoton, kunye neNtshona yeDijithali.
Kwangelo xesha Ukukwazi ukulungelelanisa i-OpenTitan phantse kuso nasiphi na isixhobo okanye isoftware ebangwayo. Xa inkqubo ichazwa njenge-ROT, oko kuthetha ukuba kukho i-chip ekhethekileyo okanye imodyuli ejongene nokuthintela iinzame zokuqhekeza.
Kwifowuni edlulileyoIPixel 4 kaGoogle, umzekelo, i-microcontroller yeTitan M idlala loo ndima. Yiprosesa encinci ejonga ukuthembeka kwe-firmware kwiifowuni zabasebenzisi ngalo lonke ixesha zivuliwe.
Okwangoku, kumaziko edatha, I-ROT ihlala yinto eyaziwa ngokuba yimodyuli yokhuseleko lwehardware, isixhobo esizinikeleyo esikhusela izitshixo zofihlo apho abancedisi babhala ngokufihlakeleyo idatha eyimfihlo. Iimodyuli zokhuseleko zeHardware zibekelwe bucala kwinethiwekhi iphela kwaye ihlala iza kwimeko yokuthintela ukunganyangeki.
Nge-OpenTitan, uGoogle unethemba lokubonelela ishishini ngeebhloko zokwakha zetekhnoloji eziqhelekileyo ukwenza iRoot yeemveliso zeTrus.
Isigebenga sokukhangela Ngoku iphuhlisa uyilo chip eyenzelwe ngokukodwa Iprojekthi isebenzisa uyilo oludumileyo lwe-RISC-V. Kukwakho nezinye izinto ezininzi kwimisebenzi, kubandakanya i-firmware, iiprosesa ezilungiselelwe ukujongana nemisebenzi ye-cryptographic, kunye nejenareyitha yenombolo yomzimba yokwenza izitshixo zokubethela.
«Iitshipsi zomthombo ovulekileyo zinokuphucula ukuthembana nokhuseleko kuyilo kunye nokwenza izinto elubala »
"Iingxaki zinokufunyanwa kwangoko kwaye isidingo sokuthembela okungaboniyo sincitshisiwe." Bongeze ukuba ngokwabelana ngokukhululekileyo iitekhnoloji ezingundoqo zinokuthi "zenze kwaye zikhuthaze ukuveliswa kwezinto ezintsha ngamagalelo ekuyileni imveliso yoyilo." Wabhala iRoyal Hansen, Igosa eliphambili lezokhuseleko likaGoogle kunye nenkokeli ye-OpenTitan uDominic Rizzo kwiposti yebhlog.
UGoogle usebenza ngokutsala indalo yabanikeli. Inkampani igqithisele ulawulo lwe-OpenTitan kwi-LowRisc, iqumrhu loshishino elidibene neYunivesithi yaseCambridgEy kukugaya amaqabane angaphandle ukuxhasa uphuhliso.
UHansen noRizzo babhala oko Itekhnoloji eveliswe nge-OpenTitan iya kuba
"Uncedo kubakhi be-chipmakers abazi ukhuseleko, ababoneleli beqonga, kunye nemibutho yeshishini ejonge ukuphucula iziseko zophuhliso."
Nayiphi na iteknoloji loo mibutho inegalelo kwi-OpenTitan inokuba luncedo kuGoogle. Inkampani isebenzisa i-Root of Trus chips kwiifowuni zayo zePixel, ithebhulethi yePixel Slate kwaye okona kubaluleke kakhulu, kumaziko ayo edatha ukukhusela amaseva ekuhlaselweni.
Isithembiso seetshipsi ezisebenza ngakumbi sinokulinga abanye bembangi Google ukujoyina i-OpenTitan.
I-Apple Inc. ngokomzekelo ine-Root of Trus processor ebizwa ngokuba yi-T2 kunye neemodeli ezithile ze-Mac, ngelixa i-Amazon Web Services Inc. ibonelela ngemisebenzi yemodyuli yokhuseleko lwe-hardware ngeqonga layo lelifu.
Ngokwelinye icala, ukusebenzisa isikhundla sayo kwiziseko zophuhliso lwedatha kunye nobuchwepheshe bemithombo evulekileyo, Idijithali yaseNtshona isebenza namaqabane ecosystem ukwandisa ubume be-OpenTitan ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezahlukeneyo zokhuseleko zamatyala osetyenziso olusecaleni kwedatha, kubandakanya usetyenziso lokufunda ngomatshini, ii-smartphones, kunye ne-Intanethi yezinto (IoT) izixhobo ezixhumeneyo.
Olunye ulwazi malunga nalo, kule khonkco.
Enye yeenjongo eziphambili zikaGoogle kule projekthi kukuphuhlisa iichips "ngokwasemzimbeni" ezithintela ukuguqulwa kwesoftware efakwe kwifowuni okanye ukuba abantu banokufaka iifemu zabo okanye iirom zabo.
Iitshipsi zomthombo ovulekileyo licebo elihle elinokunceda uluntu kakhulu, kodwa masingakhohliswa sisigebenga kunye neenjongo zalo.
