PSA Certified security certification for RoT components provides a laboratory evaluation of security IP building blocks, such as crypto processors and PUF subsystems, that are built into the chip’s Root of Trust (RoT).
The majority of the world-leading silicon vendors have adopted the PSA Root of Trust (PSA-RoT) and have used PSA Certified to demonstrate the robustness of their security implementations thanks to our multi-level scheme.
IP providers can achieve PSA Certified on RoT components, which is applicable in cases where they can achieve a subset of the requirements of PSA Certified Level 2, PSA Certified Level 3 or PSA Certified Level 4 iSE/SE. In turn this offers IP providers an opportunity to showcase security robustness with PSA Certified, and a way to support their customers who want to achieve PSA Certified on their SoC, as they will be able to reuse the component certifications. Reusing the component evaluations for full chip PSA Certified Level 2 and PSA Certified Level 3 evaluations eases the route to certification and speeds time-to-market.
Quicker Certification for Your Customers
Reusing certified security building blocks makes chip evaluation faster and cheaper.
Easing Customer Security Development
Trusted building blocks make the development of the PSA-RoT easier.
Showcase Your Security Robustness
