Workshop Session 1:

We will introduce key security concepts, outline a process for designing-in system security to a connected microcontroller platform and provide an overview of key components typically required for securing Hardware and Software.

Workshop Session 2:

We will focus on the specifics of the Arm Cortex-M33 processor and its security features, including the TrustZone-M extensions, providing an in depth review of the: programmers model, handling transitions between the secure and non-secure worlds, secure memory configurations and system level considerations. This section will be accompanied by hands-on labs that will cover:

• Security Attribution Unit configuration 
• Configuring the Non-secure world 
• Transition to the Non-secure world 
• Using Arm CMSE attributes for non-secure calls
• Using Arm CMSE attributes for secure calls
• Identifying the source of a function call
• Checking a data array address range
• Accessing secure data from non-secure application
• Illegal access to a secure function from the non-secure world

Workshop Session 3:

We will review the NXP LPC55xx development environment and discuss typical applications.
