Hello, I'm curious to know how to add a secure boot feature on the STM32429I-EVAL1. I would like to allow the boot on a bootloader located in the flash memory, only if this one is known by the internal bootloader.

I'm trying to add a authentication mechanism with a symmetric key stored in the system memory but I'm not sure if it's the right way and i also don't know how to store this key in the system memory.

I read about SBSFU but not sure about it.

Kindly advise me on how could i do it please.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like X-CUBE-SBSFU was built for something like this. Spend some time reading about it and getting the examples up and running on your board.

Why wouldn't you use an asymmetric method where the validation/verification only needs the Public Key?

asymmetric, why not but my main issue is here that i want to not allow the user to reset the flash memory to deploy whatever he wants...
