Recommended CPU Frequency for SBSFU ??

SPati.7

SBSFU involved signing verification and encryption/decryption related activities.

Also crypto processing is required to implement SBSFU solutions.

So, what is the recommended CPU Clock frequency to implement SBSFU solutions ??

If the MCU melts down it will be impossible to crack. Ultimate security.

Hello @SPati.7​,

there is no specific frequency recommended as far as I know.

The only constraint I can think about is that it may be better to use an internal oscillator so that it cannot be controlled from outside. Now, I'm not able to evaluate the risk of using an external oscillator in term of attack.

Best regards

Internal oscillators are more robust, but less accurate and highly dependent on temperature. I would recommend running from internal oscillator and setting clocks with approximately 20 % margin from the maximum allowed speed.
