SEC-TPM for NXP i.MX is a firmware-based Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) solution designed for edge computing devices built on NXP's i.MX6, i.MX7, i.MX8, and i.MX9 applications processor families. It implements TCG (Trusted Computing Group) standards without requiring additional discrete hardware or extra board space, integrating directly into the processor's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) secure world. The solution is aimed at industrial, automotive, AI, and IoT applications requiring hardware-rooted security. Unlike a discrete TPM chip, SEC-TPM runs within the existing i.MX processor, leveraging the TEE architecture to isolate secure operations from the non-secure world. Key capabilities include: - Secure boot with boot software verification and boot measurements - Cryptographic key generation and secure storage of keys and certificates - Unique device identity provisioning - Firmware update support with failure recovery - Factory software provisioning - AI model protection - Chip-to-cloud connectivity via IPSec VPN Additional benefits over discrete TPM implementations include crypto-agility for quantum resistance, lower power consumption, improved system performance, and field-upgradable firmware. The solution also supports driver integration and firmware compatibility optimization for the i.MX8 series specifically.
