FOSDEM event "Overview of Secure Boot state in the ARM-based SoCs"

Maciej Pijanowski

Type devroom

Starts on day 1 (2021-02-06) at 14:20 (Brussels time, UTC+1) in room Hardware trusted (duration 00:25)

Matrix room #hardware trusted:fosdem.org

In the ARM world, Secure Boot is typically a BootROM feature, which allows

for verification of the loaded binaries (firmware, bootloader, Linux kernel)

prior executing it. The main idea is to prevent the untrusted code from running

on our platform. The general approach is similar across vendors, but there is

no standardization in this area.

During this talk we will review the Secure Boot features in ARM SoCs from some

of the most popular vendors. Not only will we analyze the Secure Boot presence

or its features, but we will also focus on the tools and documentation

availability. It is a known fact that often such documentation requires a

signed NDA with an SoC vendor, which makes it difficult to use by regular

users.
