With the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) expected to enter into force in late 2024, electronic products with “digital elements” sold in the EU must demonstrate security‑by‑design and support coordinated vulnerability management throughout a minimum 10‑year support window. Hardware‑level expectations include a hardware root‑of‑trust, encrypted storage, cryptographic accelerators and a secure firmware update path.

1. Introduction

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) imposes significant security-by-design requirements on manufacturers. For microcontroller-based products, this means selecting a device with a hardware root-of-trust, robust cryptographic capabilities, and a secure lifecycle management path.
