Firmware image encryption

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517

Hello,

We are currently using and AM3517 system and wanting to look at securing the kernel and rootfs image.

Does the AM3517 support any ROM level security where reading and writing is performed automatically with the initialised keys.

Previous experience with Broadcom devices allowed for IIRC ladder decoder that allowed and encrypted image to be read from flash automatically.

 

If there is no support what is the recommeded way of securing firmware images ?

 

Thanks

Marc
