Root of Trust

Overview

Root of Trust IP is a Hardware Secure Module (HSM) solution that provides the security foundation for processors and System on Chips (SoCs). It protects critical systems especially devices used in automotive, industrial, cloud, data center, and wireless applications.

The Root of Trust IP is an isolated hardware-based environment that offers security services to the host system. These services include secure system boot, secure execution of authenticated user applications, secure storage of critical assets, secure key generation and management, and hardware offloading of security protocols and cryptographic operations.

The Root of Trust IP is composed of secure elements including a RISC-V processor, standard cryptographic cores, and isolated memories. The IP is prepared for easy integration with industry-standard interfaces and system architectures. It additionally includes a software tool for integration with various host system OS and APIs.
