1. Introduction
Key provisioning and storage is the process of creating, injecting, deriving, protecting, using, rotating, revoking, and evidencing the cryptographic keys a product depends on.
Secure boot is the product control that prevents unauthorised firmware or software from running during startup. For connected products, it is one of the main ways to protect firmware integrity, support trustworthy updates, and retain evidence that the released product boots only code approved by the manufacturer.
A unique device identity is the product design that lets a device prove it is genuine, distinguishable from other devices, and entitled to access the services, updates, commands, data, and support paths assigned to it.
