looks like lowRISC’s #OpenTitan is from ETH Zürich, #Google, Western Digital, Seagate, ... and something called G+D Mobile Security and Nuvoton? But their Git repo is largely written by Michael Schaffner (Google), Eunchan Kim (Google), Cindy Chen (Google), Philipp Wagner (lowRISC), Timothy Chen (Google), Silvestrs Timofejevs (lowRISC), and Pirmin Vogel (ex-ETH, now lowRISC). The initial commit, “Start of public OpenTitan development history”, lists 19 contributors, 13 of them at Google. So basically it’s a Google project. They explain, “By creating OpenTitan with the broader hardware and academic community, we leverage the experience and #security principles used to create Google’s Titan chips to make #hardware root of trust designs more transparent, inspectable, and accessible to the rest of the industry.”
