Another funder is the US govt, through #DARPA:

"...#POSH program seeks to enable mathematically provable secure electronics and create an open source hardware IP ecosystem, along with accompanying validation tools... The program also aims to develop and release a number of silicon-proven analog and digital IP blocks on an open source platform to serve as a foundation for rapid design of complex secure SoCs at leading edge technology nodes."
