CryptoCell and CryptoIsland Root of Trust IP
Designed to be integrated in Arm TrustZone-based power and space-constrained SoCs or FPGAs, the CC-312, CC-712, and CC-713 Root of Trust solutions (formerly Arm CryptoCell) are FIPS 140-3 certifiable hardware security modules that establish the foundation for the Arm Platform Security Architecture (PSA). The CC-312 targets integration on Cortex-M platforms running embedTLS, and the CC-71x targets integration on Cortex-A platforms running Linux or OP-TEE.
The CryptoIsland CI-300P-C (formerly Arm CryptoIsland) is a secure programmable Root of Trust targeting Secure Element designs for iSIM, payment, DRM, and 5G modems. It is comprised of an embedded Cortex-M0+ processor and a tailored CryptoCell engine. The CryptoIsland is suitable for designs that target evaluation against Common Criteria PP-0084 or PP-0117.
