SoC system-on-chip TrustZone

Arm TrustZone technology is used on billions of application processors to protect high-value code and data. Arm TrustZone technology offers an efficient, system-wide approach to security with hardware-enforced isolation built into the CPU. It provides the perfect starting point to establish a device root of trust based on PSA guidelines. This concept of secure (trusted) and non-secure (non-trusted) worlds extends beyond the processor to encompass memory, software, bus transactions, interrupts and peripherals within an SoC. Features and Benefits Flexible Foundation TrustZone technology provides a foundation for system-wide security and the creation of a trusted SoC. Any part of the system can be designed as part of the secure world, including debug, peripherals, interrupts and memory. Range of Security Options Instead of providing a fixed one-size-fits-all security solution, Arm TrustZone technology provides the foundations that allow the SoC designer to choose from a range of components that can fulfil specific functions within the security environment. What Is TrustZone Technology? TrustZone technology within Cortex-A based application processors is commonly used to run trusted boot and trusted OS to create a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Typical use cases include the protection of authentication mechanisms, cryptography, mobile device management, payment, key material, and digital rights management (DRM).
