White Paper Overview
NIST SP 800-193 outlines the requirements from a system in order to make it resilient to firmware and critical data corruption either by malicious attacks or malfunction. These requirements can only be fulfilled by a dedicated protection layer. Such protection layer is rooted in immutable code that is very difficult to implement.
Winbond’s Secure Flash provides this protection layer in hardware, addressing resiliency requirements outlines in NIST SP 800-193. The Secure Flash from Winbond is 100% drop-in compatible with standard NOR Flash devices. This allows minimal effort converting a system into NIST SP 800-193 resilient.
