“We are adding security mechanisms such as OP-TEE and the TF-A project as another building block of our investment in this product line,” the company told Electronics Weekly. “We also added Sequitur, with Sequitur Labs’ EmSpark Security Suite, to our list of authorised partners” – OP-TEE is the Open Portable Trusted Execution Environment) and TF-A is Trusted Firmware-A.
EmSpark Security Suite is intended to streamline firmware implementation of secure boot and device authentication. It works with Arm’s TrustZone architecture, which is included in STM32MP1. Optimisation is for applications such as industrial control, building automation, smart-home equipment, machine vision, automotive communication and medical devices, said ST.
The new resources join security contributions from existing partners Prove&Run, TimeSys and Witekio.
ProvenRun provides custom security engineering services (secure boot, secure firmware, OP-TEE) and its ProvenCore secure operating systems.
TimeSys Vigiles Vulnerability Management Suite is embedded in OpenSTLinux and constantly watches for relevant vulnerabilities that open devices to cyberattacks, as well as remediation information for device life-cycle management.
Witekio’s FullMetalUpdate helps IoT platform operators manage their over-the-air updates.
