Built around a custom 32-bit CPU, the Rambus Root of Trust RT-600 series is at the forefront of a new category of programmable hardware-based security cores. Siloed from the primary processor, it is specifically designed to securely run sensitive code, processes, and algorithms. In addition to the CPU, the RT-600 series contains a large set of hardware blocks arranged around an internal bus fabric.
More specifically, the RT-600 series comprises the following hardware components:
