Caspia Technologies Details Impact of Its CODAx AI-Assisted Security Linter

CODAx Found 16 Security Vulnerabilities in Popular OpenRISC CPU Core
Unique Program Allows Designers to Test CODAx for Free

GAINSVILLE, Fla., March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Caspia Technologies, a pioneer in the development of AI-enhanced security verification solutions for advanced SoCs and systems, today announced details of the impact of its security linter called CODAx. The company reported that 16 security violations were found in a popular OpenRISC CPU core. This open-source core has been deployed in a variety of embedded applications, including telecommunications, portable media, home entertainment, and automotive.

CODAx uses over 150 security rules to perform comprehensive static checking on design RTL to flag code that can lead to security vulnerabilities. The CODAx rules benefit from Caspia Technologies security LLMs trained with the latest vulnerabilities, threat models and security AI agents. The easy-to-use tool analyzes the control and data-path portions of a design with a large and growing database of security rules. CODAx provides more secure and robust end products while enabling more efficient design flows with reduced time-to-market and lower secure development costs.

Approximately 32,000 lines of code in the OpenRISC CPU core were analyzed. CODAx detected six violations of control path security directives and 10 violations of data-path security directives. In contrast, the golden reference linter currently in use throughout the industry found only two of the 16 violations flagged by CODAx, illustrating the unique value of this new class of security linter. The complete analysis using CODAx took under 60 seconds.

Example vulnerabilities found include:

Insecure state encoding schemes and transitions for finite state machines in the design. This practice can make the state machines susceptible to fault injection attacks and improper leakage of sensitive information.Improper initialized data-path registers upon reset. If these registers are left uninitialized, their state becomes undefined when the design is first brought out of reset. During this vulnerable window, before the registers are explicitly initialized by the logic, the design operates in an insecure state, increasing the risk of exploitation.

Caspia Technologies is actively engaging with approximately seven leading semiconductor technology suppliers spanning industries such as wireless, AI, AMS, DSP, automotive, and processor platforms, to demonstrate the value of CODAx and subsequently strengthen the security portion of the development flow.

Today’s security issues are addressed manually. Implementing a CODAx solution will enhance the productivity of the security team while addressing vulnerability attacks before they happen. As a result, the entire design flow will be more efficient while reducing the costs for running security tests.

“CODAx is the first solution in a robust roadmap of solutions that enhances design security and product assurance across the entire electronic development and delivery flow,” said Dr. Mark Tehranipoor, Department Chair & Intel Charles E. Young Chair in Cybersecurity at the University of Florida, and co-founder of Caspia Technologies. “I am delighted with the strong interest we are seeing in the market for CODAx and the significant demonstration of capability we achieved with the OpenRISC CPU analysis.”

Unique New Access Program for CODAx

Caspia also announced the details of a new program to enable testing of CODAx on open-source designs free of charge.

Visit https://apps.caspia.ai/ in your web browser. You will find further information there on creating an account to access the platform.When logged in to the platform, users can run CODAx on various designs, including a RISC-V core and open-source hardware root-of-trust.The goal is to give users a feel for using the security tool and the rule-checks CODAx performs.Feedback from the community is welcome!

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”
