GlobalPlatform Launches Pavona Open Silicon Distribution Featuring Production-Grade Post-Quantum Cryptography

GlobalPlatform has officially launched Pavona, an open-source silicon distribution designed to deliver modular, certification-ready intellectual property (IP) blocks and reference designs for secure hardware systems. Developed by the GlobalPlatform Trusted Open Source Silicon Task Force, the project introduces a platform architecture that moves away from monolithic open silicon designs in favor of a composable framework. Supported by twelve founding corporate and academic members—including ZeroRISC, Meta, Qualcomm, Tenstorrent, and the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy—Pavona establishes a standardized hardware root of trust with native, out-of-the-box post-quantum cryptography (PQC) accelerators for embedded architectures.
