Secure Boot is a process in which software on a device is identified, authenticated, and started up when the device is powered on. Secure Boot also includes the protection of the firmware images stored in the non-volatile memory whether or not the device is powered on. This process requires several stages of authentication, protection, and encryption/decryption in order to ensure that the device is secure. This solutions brief covers the steps and explains how they are implemented using the EmSPARK™ Security Suite.
