Charter

Introduction

The Security Horizontal Committee (HC) closely coordinates all security related activities within RISC-V International (RVI), including security trends, threats and countermeasures. It sponsors the formation of SIGs and TGs to address identified gaps.

Background

Security touches all aspects of RISC-V. It is a complex and wide ranging space, requiring diverse expertise from a large number of contributors. This leads to the large number of SIGs and TGs that are sponsored or partially sponsored by the HC, and requires close collaboration with other committees.

Committee Charter

• Promote RISC-V as a vehicle within the security community

• Liaise with other internal RISC-V committees and with external security committees

• Create an information repository on trends, threats and countermeasures
