As platform security threats escalate, the ability to securely and efficiently provision RoT components at scale becomes critical. Caliptra's streaming boot model addresses this by enabling dynamic, host-driven RoT initialization, eliminating the need for persistent firmware storage and reducing attack surfaces. In this video, Microsoft's Vishal Soni & Xiling Sun provide a deep dive into how this architecture is enabled by the modular, Rust-based MCU firmware stack with TockOS. 👀 Watch here: https://hubs.la/Q03Ynq220 Open Compute Project Foundation CHIPS Alliance #Caliptra #openhardware #opensource
