Secure Boot & Root of Trust Review
Secure boot is not only about enabling a feature in the datasheet. The real question is whether the full boot chain, signing model, rollback protection, lifecycle states, key hierarchy, recovery path, and production process work together.
Device Prophet reviews your secure boot and root-of-trust architecture to identify weaknesses before they become hardware or field-update problems.
Typical questions
- · What is the immutable trust anchor?
- · Which keys sign which stages?
- · Can an attacker downgrade firmware?
- · How are debug and recovery handled?
- · What happens if a signing key is compromised?
- · Are fuse states and lifecycle states correctly planned?
- · Can manufacturing provision devices safely?
Outcome
You receive a written analysis of your boot chain, key hierarchy, rollback strategy, recovery path, and provisioning model - with specific remediation steps and engineering decision points.
Our review process may use AI-assisted research and mapping to speed up standards analysis, requirement discovery, and preparation. Final findings and technical recommendations are reviewed by human embedded-security expertise.
