I've been watching the MOOC - Security series and had some questions. There is a link in the info block to a forum for any questions, but the link no longer works.

Is this the right place?
I got to the end of "Security Part4 - STM32 security in practice - 15 Secure firmware update" and had some questions since there isn't any lab video for this module like there are for the modules that came before it.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Great! Thank!
The link for the slides is at the bottom of this page and still works:
P.87
" Another option is to have the firmware encrypted with predefined symmetric key before uploading for update service
• Firmware will always be stored on the updating server in encrypted format and stays encrypted during downloading regardless of the communication channel encryption state
• The symmetric key to decrypt the firmware need to be provisioned in the device beforehand • The symmetric key need to be protected for its confidentiality and integrity "
Ok, in this scenario, I assume all devices/unit of the same product/part# would have the same symmetric key in a protected part of the flash and kept secret on the development side, correct? It would have to be the same key for all units if the update package is already sitting there waiting to be downloaded, yes?

This is a new question. I think you should create a new post for it.
Best Regards.
