问题
Just wanted to ask, what is the difference between secure and non-secure transactions when it comes to AXI bus transactions?
What are the performance implications of either transaction?
回答1:
Trusted transactions are a part of ARM's TrustZone policy. It requires an additional pin to indicate a secure connection. It only allows communication with the secure section of the processor. It is a software solution to restrict access to hardware in the case of root access on the OS. It acts as a firewall in the event a hacker takes control of the OS. It does not guard against hardware hacking.
As far a performance, the hardware bandwidth is unaffected, but the extra step in the secure processor does incur a performance penalty.
