Of particular interest to mobile smart devices is TrustZone, because ARM is the dominant CPU architecture in this market and TrustZone supports the isolation of peripheral device access. ARM TrustZone (ARM, [n. d.]b ) is a set of hardware security extensions that supports isolation of two “worlds” of execution: non-secure and secure. How does TrustZone help to securely store secrets? Hiding peripherals and memory from the non-secure world is a key feature of TrustZone. TrustZone does not define, which peripherals and memory are subjected to this mechanism. This is in the hands of the SoC vendors. The APB4 TrustZone peripheral protection controller gates transactions to, and responses from, peripherals when a security violation occurs. The APB4 TrustZone peripheral protection controller can be instantiated in the system in connection to any non-security aware peripherals. TrustZone + TEE techniques put the access control at the peripheral or memory and separate its management form system design and software not focused on security. This isolation barrier separates assets, giving two execution environments which prevail throughout the general assets of the SoC:

The problem is the lack of secure storage, as TrustZone specification doesn’t provide any mechanism to implement secure storage. However, the TrustZone feature: assigning a specific peripheral to secure world access only is the key point, but it is up to the Soc Vendors or the TEE developers to decide what peripheral is used as a secure

Journalists want Trust.Zone has pretty much everything most VPN users are looking for: A helpful website, user-friendly apps, and the ability to bypass Netflix geo-blocks.Overall, we still found it wasn’t quite as fast as a provider like ExpressVPN. Xilinx peripheral protection unit (XPPU) for hardware protection of memory and peripherals. These protection units complement the isolation provided by TrustZone (TZ), by the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC memory management units (MMUs) and the System Memory Management Unit (SMMU). The methods outlined in this document allow a system to be built

TrustZone technology for Arm Cortex-M processors enables robust levels of protection at all cost points for IoT devices. The technology reduces the potential for attack by isolating the critical security firmware, assets and private information from the rest of the application.

Reliable on-off control of peripherals on smart devices is a key to security and privacy in many scenarios. Protected Peripheral Access via the System Bus The CPU can also mark pages of memory as either TrustZone-protected (“Secure”) or belonging to the Normal World (“Non-Secure”). The NS bit (bit 19) of a Page Table Entry (PTE) determines whether or not the page belongs either to the Secure World (SWd) or Normal World (NWd). This is information on a product in full production.
