What is it about?
This work explores how to make security-critical hardware easier to check and trust. We show how to ensure that different people can independently rebuild a hardware design and obtain exactly the same results, making it easier to verify that nothing has been changed along the way.

Why is it important?
We cannot fully trust a device just because its design is publicly available. We also need to know that the final product was built as intended. Our approach makes this process more transparent and easier to verify, helping improve trust in the hardware used to protect sensitive information.
Perspectives
I hope this article is going to be one of the many small steps to open, secure and verifiable hardware as it is very important that we move towards this goal as a community.
