Trustzone baked onto the chip

British fabless chipmaker ARM has announced that it will introduce tiny processors which have Trustzone baked in to run the next generation of IoT devices.

The ARM TechCon in Silicon Valley was told that the new designs will stop devices from being hacked and recruited into huge botnet swarms.

TrustZone has been around for a decade for Windows, Mac OS and Android products but never for chips this small or low-powered.

ARM’s new Cortex-M33 chip design is just one-tenth of a square millimeter, and the Cortex-M23 is 75 percent smaller than that. There are based on the new ARMv8-M architecture and are designed to work with ARM's mbed OS. Already Chip vendors including Analog Devices, NXP and STMicroelectronics have already licensed the design.
