secure booting and microcontrollers
Secure booting refers to a process in which an electronic device, such as a microcontroller, ensures that only authorized and trusted software is executed during the system startup. It involves validating the software's integrity and authenticity, thereby preventing unauthorized or malicious code from running on the device. This helps protect the device and its associated data from potential security threats and unauthorized access. Microcontrollers, on the other hand, are small integrated circuits that are designed to control and perform specific tasks in electronic devices. They are commonly used in various applications such as electronics, automotive, and industrial systems. When combined with secure booting, microcontrollers can enhance the overall security and reliability of the devices they are embedded in.
