SPDM Update#

OCP Global Summit 2025 digest Program Adjacent pick 13–16 October 2025

Abstract Materials

Speakers: Jeff Hilland (Hewlett Packard Enterprise), Brett Henning (Broadcom Inc.)

  • Why: SPDM is the emerging standard for hardware device identity and attestation — the physical-layer cousin of the PM's workload-identity interests — and this session covers the year's spec additions including post-quantum crypto.
  • What: DMTF SPDM working-group update: PQC support, new bindings, an Authorization specification, and updates to the SPDM spec suite, plus expectations for the coming year. (from abstract only)
  • How: Standards-body status update — the mechanics will be in the spec drafts (DMTF materials linked), not the abstract.
  • Where applicable: Any hardware procurement or RoT program; the PQC timeline discussion is the part with planning consequences.
