Hardware Root of Trust
Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) builds a chain of trust by authenticating all the firmware components before it runs, and permits
only authenticated firmware to run and flash. Hardware RoT establishes a chain of trust by running the initial firmware code
from immutable Internal Boot ROM (IBR) and this process authenticates and builds a chain of trust with succeeding software
using this root of trust.
