This research presents a methodology for adapting security verification techniques across different processor architectures, with RISC-V as the primary focus.

Key Findings:

• Demonstrates how security assertions can be translated from conventional architectures to RISC-V implementations
• Provides a framework for consistent security verification despite architectural differences
• Tests effectiveness against hardware Trojans and security vulnerabilities
• Addresses growing security concerns as RISC-V adoption increases in critical systems

Business Impact: As RISC-V continues gaining popularity for its cost-effectiveness and adaptability, this research enables organizations to maintain robust security standards while leveraging RISC-V's advantages, particularly important for IoT, embedded systems, and secure computing applications.
