Embedded Platform Security

This section provides a deeper explanation of the different security techniques and concepts described in the previous section. If you want to check out a specific subsection, you can click on one of the following links:

• Root of Trust

• Secure Boot

• Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)

• Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

• Key Management Systems (Keyring)

• Measured Boot and Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA)

• Disk Encryption

• Over-the-Air Updates (OTA)

• Kiosk Modes

These techniques will allow you to have a trusted platform protected against malicious software by creating a chain of trust. With this, you can ensure that your system won't be tampered with and malicious parties will not be able to access the system and affect its functionality or obtain confidential information from it. An example chain of trust is illustrated in Figure 1.
