Special embedded software of trusted electronic component

Abstract

Development and production of trusted electronic components is associated with solving complex problems of fulfilling the requirements of technological, functional and information security of the product. The proposed publication considers aspects of ensuring trust in the hardware and software systems through the organization of trust chains based on the use of technical approaches implemented in integrated circuits with hardware and software architecture. Attention is paid to special embedded software, which is installed at the stage of production of the integrated circuit. Correctly designed special embedded software of an integrated circuit can significantly increase the level of device security, help in organizing a trusted supply chain and operation of the device, provide protection against counterfeiting (identification, strict authentication of the chip), support procedures for safe loading and launch of system and application software. This publication will be of interest to specialists in the development of trusted electronic components, trusted devices, system integrators of critical information infrastructure, developers of end-to-end technological processes for the development and production of trusted devices and information systems.
