Notes

Pending action items

AP: Any specific input on security reporting. Otherwise please raise with Dan on email.

JB: Have a few points but will raise by mail.

AP: By mid-July meeting should try to reach Beta level

AP: Coding guidelines patch

EF: Should hopefully be next week

AP: Static analysis and functional safety - please could everyone think about this. Both TF teams are doing static analysis.

JB: Functional safety came up in BKK19 - MISRA C

AP: TSC Members - some members have not identified.

May need to have invitation-only closed discussions

CD: OP-TEE is going to add an extra row to the matrix of interest

Representative discussion: Proposal generally agreed - 2 reps, expertise partitioned as member company desired. Ideally designated primary and secondary, either but not both can vote.


PSA L2 update for TF-M

AS: For v8m, isolation is through hardware. For dual cpu cortex-m each side has separate interrupts and no leakage of information through interrupts

JB: Not much information in the document 18/19 pages. Interested in 5.6. What is the list of supported crypto expected.

AS: Has not been listed. Should support the crypto currently used in TF-M

DB: Secure storage TBD?

AS: Crypto shouldn’t allow visibility of the key for secure storage. Have to close this. Action item later in slides.

JB: Who is ‘The Lab’ in the slides?

AS: 6-7 around the world. Partners have already gone for level 1 certification. Link here: https://www.psacertified.org/security-certification/test-labs/

EF: Foresee any work on mcuboot?

AS: Have a fork in TF-M. Can’t comment on open source project.

EF: Wondering if TF-M and upstream fork could converge

AP: Could happen. Need to look at what it would take. DavidB discussing with TF-M team.

JB: Any plans to do (external) security audits

AP: Only in early stages. Who would be interested?

JB, DB

AP: Action: AP will contact JB., DB before next TSC about audits


Documentation hosting on ReadTheDocs.

AP: Agreed to do this. Joakim has demonstrated how to do this. Free option?

JB: Works fine.

AP: Any objection from TSC? Otherwise will raise the request to Linaro infrastructure to publish from Gerrit.

JB: Ad free - as low as $5. Commercial support is $50-150/month.

JW: Do we need an external service? Can we just run Sphinx? Since already asking for engineering effort.

DB: Doubt to be able to do it for $5/month

Action Bill to find out about cost of internal Sphinx hosting.  

JW: Coreboot is already doing this. (docs.coreboot.org)

DB: Can also look into what Zephyr are doing.


Gerrit hooks to inform specific maintainers of submitted patches.

AP: Just have to update some guidelines


AOB

MG: is there a longer term roadmap for e.g. Level 3?
