Provide a laboratory evaluation of the PSA Root of Trust (PSA-RoT) to demonstrate its resilience against scalable software attacks.
Based on asymmetric encryption and digital signature mechanisms, it verifies public key hashes and firmware signatures. This process can prevent tampering and rollback attacks, ensuring that the device only runs trusted firmware
Supports both embedded and external Flash, with independent key encryption for multiple firmware. When the CPU executes encrypted firmware, it is decrypted in real-time by hardware, with nearly imperceptible performance impact. Supports unique encryption for each device, preventing injection and cloning attacks
Based on the Arm TrustZone® architecture, coupled with a dedicated hardware access control unit, it achieves strong isolation protection for secure memory areas and secure peripherals. Meanwhile, secure firmware is decrypted by the security encryption engine and loaded into the secure RAM area, ensuring protection against leakage and tampering throughout the entire process
Physical-level anti-extraction, key area locked for access only by the security engine, tamper-resistant and read-proof. Supports independent secure zones and CRC verification
Generates high-security random numbers based on physical entropy sources. Certified by NIST for randomness. Provides unpredictability to the system, resistant to prediction attacks
Hardware Unique Key (HUK) with physical isolation protection, unreadable and unclonable, used for secure derivation of application keys
Strict control over debug interface access through authentication mechanisms. Supports authorized access and permanent closure, eliminating physical debug attacks. Meets security management requirements at different stages of the product lifecycle, effectively enhancing overall security

| Authenticated Debug Access |
In addition to the essential symmetric encryption engines like AES for IoT, we also provide computationally more intensive asymmetric encryption algorithms ECDSA. This greatly alleviates the computational burden on the CPU and improves encryption and decryption speeds
Based on asymmetric encryption and digital signature mechanisms, it verifies public key hashes and firmware signatures. This process can prevent tampering and rollback attacks, ensuring that the device only runs trusted firmware
Supports both embedded and external Flash, with independent key encryption for multiple firmware. When the CPU executes encrypted firmware, it is decrypted in real-time by hardware, with nearly imperceptible performance impact. Supports unique encryption for each device, preventing injection and cloning attacks
Based on the Arm TrustZone® architecture, coupled with a dedicated hardware access control unit, it achieves strong isolation protection for secure memory areas and secure peripherals. Meanwhile, secure firmware is decrypted by the security encryption engine and loaded into the secure RAM area, ensuring protection against leakage and tampering throughout the entire process
Physical-level anti-extraction, key area locked for access only by the security engine, tamper-resistant and read-proof. Supports independent secure zones and CRC verification
Generates high-security random numbers based on physical entropy sources. Certified by NIST for randomness. Provides unpredictability to the system, resistant to prediction attacks
Hardware Unique Key (HUK) with physical isolation protection, unreadable and unclonable, used for secure derivation of application keys
Strict control over debug interface access through authentication mechanisms. Supports authorized access and permanent closure, eliminating physical debug attacks. Meets security management requirements at different stages of the product lifecycle, effectively enhancing overall security
Security Certifications Support
We offer support for multiple security certifications. By providing these advanced security features and certification support, we aim to assist our customers in efficiently meeting various market entry requirements, ensuring the security and competitiveness of their products. Most of our chips are capable of achieving PSA Certified Level 2 and Level 3, with some chips already having completed PSA Certified Level 2 certification.

| Authenticated Debug Access |
In addition to the essential symmetric encryption engines like AES for IoT, we also provide computationally more intensive asymmetric encryption algorithms such as ECDSA, EdDSA, and RSA. This greatly alleviates the computational burden on the CPU and improves encryption and decryption speeds
Based on asymmetric encryption and digital signature mechanisms, it verifies public key hashes and firmware signatures. This process can prevent tampering and rollback attacks, ensuring that the device only runs trusted firmware
Supports both embedded and external Flash, with independent key encryption for multiple firmware. When the CPU executes encrypted firmware, it is decrypted in real-time by hardware, with nearly imperceptible performance impact. Supports unique encryption for each device, preventing injection and cloning attacks
Based on the Arm TrustZone® architecture, coupled with a dedicated hardware access control unit, it achieves strong isolation protection for secure memory areas and secure peripherals. Meanwhile, secure firmware is decrypted by the security encryption engine and loaded into the secure RAM area, ensuring protection against leakage and tampering throughout the entire process
Physical-level anti-extraction, key area locked for access only by the security engine, tamper-resistant and read-proof. Supports independent secure zones and CRC verification
Generates high-security random numbers based on physical entropy sources. Certified by NIST for randomness. Provides unpredictability to the system, resistant to prediction attacks
Hardware Unique Key (HUK) with physical isolation protection, unreadable and unclonable, used for secure derivation of application keys
Strict control over debug interface access through authentication mechanisms. Supports authorized access and permanent closure, eliminating physical debug attacks. Meets security management requirements at different stages of the product lifecycle, effectively enhancing overall security
Security Certifications Support
We offer support for multiple security certifications. By providing these advanced security features and certification support, we aim to assist our customers in efficiently meeting various market entry requirements, ensuring the security and competitiveness of their products. Most of our chips are capable of achieving PSA Certified Level 2 and Level 3, with some chips already having completed PSA Certified Level 2 certification.

In addition to the essential symmetric encryption engines like AES for IoT, we also provide computationally more intensive asymmetric encryption algorithms such as ECDSA, EdDSA, and RSA. This greatly alleviates the computational burden on the CPU and improves encryption and decryption speeds
Based on asymmetric encryption and digital signature mechanisms, it verifies public key hashes and firmware signatures. This process can prevent tampering and rollback attacks, ensuring that the device only runs trusted firmware
Supports both embedded and external Flash, with independent key encryption for multiple firmware. When the CPU executes encrypted firmware, it is decrypted in real-time by hardware, with nearly imperceptible performance impact. Supports unique encryption for each device, preventing injection and cloning attacks
Based on the Arm TrustZone® architecture, coupled with a dedicated hardware access control unit, it achieves strong isolation protection for secure memory areas and secure peripherals. Meanwhile, secure firmware is decrypted by the security encryption engine and loaded into the secure RAM area, ensuring protection against leakage and tampering throughout the entire process
Physical-level anti-extraction, key area locked for access only by the security engine, tamper-resistant and read-proof. Supports independent secure zones and CRC verification
Generates high-security random numbers based on physical entropy sources. Certified by NIST for randomness. Provides unpredictability to the system, resistant to prediction attacks
Hardware Unique Key (HUK) with physical isolation protection, unreadable and unclonable, used for secure derivation of application keys
Strict control over debug interface access through authentication mechanisms. Supports authorized access and permanent closure, eliminating physical debug attacks. Meets security management requirements at different stages of the product lifecycle, effectively enhancing overall security
