This document represents the summary of the project and its main steps. For a full version of the report, please look for the Project Report P647: RACE-I RISC-V bAsed Crypto Engine – Part 1 Project Report.

The BSI decided to publish the results of Project 647 RACE-I in English, as the global standard language for science, engineering and technology. A vast majority of the relevant documents to processor architectures and in particular to the RISC-V architecture are written in English. Moreover, using English ensures that this document can reach a wider audience, including international partners as part of the public tendering procedure for the successor project RACE-II. It also facilitates the understanding, as most technical terminology and documentation for the RISC-V architecture are written in English.
