DM8168 security hardware

Hi, I'm evaluating the DM8168 for a project that would benefit from security features like:

- HW crypto acceleration (AES and/or 3DES)

- Secured DMA transfers (again AES and/or 3DES)

- Secure boot infrastructure (Trustzone?)

I have seen that some of these features are available and supported for some Sitara CPUs, but not for AM389x or DM816x. Also the DM8168 EVM demo application shows "coming soon" on the crypto section, so it seems that support for crypto acceleration is a matter of time.

Can someone provide an estimated date? There is much less (actually none) information available on the secure boot implementation and Trustzone support. The DM8168 datasheet and user guide refer to a secure loader, but no other information is available. Can someone expand?

Support, at least for AM389x was tentatively put at Q2/11 on this article:

Can crypto support for the DM8168 be expected at the same time?

Thanks David
