Description
Building trust in space-grade semiconductor architectures is essential due to their critical
information, extensive supply chains, and long product life cycles. Secure boot – that is, loadingthe operating system and other critical parameters in a trustworthy way – is the first step inthe path for creating this trust. In today’s landscape, where the development of quantum technology creates novel security threats, including Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) intothe secure boot process is also critical.
In this presentation, we review how hardware-based cryptographic mechanisms can be used to secure the boot process of a computing platform. We will discover how the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity (the CIA triad) of the boot process can be secured with postquantum, secure boot in space-grade infrastructures.
