This chapter describes the Hardware Security Module (HSM) in the device.
The HSM module is responsible for booting up of the device, enabling the main R5FSS core, defining/controlling overall security of the device based on boot options provided. It also has a DTHE (Data Transform and Hashing Engine) which is a wrapper around crypto IP with some additional capability including CRC and Checksum.
Table 7-112 provides a list of abbreviations related to hardware security.
| Abbreviation | Description |

| AES | Advanced Encryption Standard |
| DRBG | Deterministic random bit generator |
| ECC | Elliptic curve cryptography |
| HMAC | Keyed-hashing for message authentication |
| ISC | Initiator-side security control |
| PKA | Public key cryptography |
| RSA | Rivest–Shamir–Adleman cryptosystem |
| SHA | Secure hash algorithm |
| TRNG | True random number generator |
