- Bootloader signature checking.
- U-Boot hardening.
- FIT image signature checking (kernel, DTBs and ramdisk).
- Rootfs signature checking via
dm-verity
.
- Data-at-rest encryption
- Encryption key management via the Trusted Keys kernel subsystem
- Block device encryption with
dm-crypt
- TEE (Trusted Execution Environment)
- Support for running OP-TEE
