Talk:TrustZone

Fact confirmation on this information needed?

This page appears to contain wrong information/conclusions on TrustZone including cryptographic engines. They are two separate things. Allwinner A10 datasheet mentions 'Security System' with DES, 3DES, AES, SHA1 and MD5 support. But no hardware driver or documentation for this system is available.

Allwinner own website and the A10 datasheet specifically list that the A10 SoC (as well as newer SoCs) include ARM's TrustZone security engine, see for example http://www.allwinner.com/A10_SOC.php and http://blogs.arm.com/multimedia/750-allwinner-technology-and-arm-working-together-to-get-to-market-quicker/ and I understand it it is a integrated security engine module, similar to how it contain it has integrated MALI400 GPU shader engine module.

Checkout these instructions about how-to get Cryptodev-linux module, device /dev/crypto (aka CryptoDev), working for SolidRun's CuBox which features an Marvell ARM SoC that supports the same TrustZone modile as the Allwinner SoC; see http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=634 and http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2452&hilit=Cryptodev and http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=197.0 Rocker (talk) 16:06, 10 January 2013 (CET)

But there isn't hardware crypto driver for Allwinner SoC, so CryptoDev does not get hardware accelerated. Does driver for Marvell SoC work with Allwinner? Jukivili (talk) 19:12, 15 January 2013 (EET)
