SecureBoot

Introduction

SecureBoot™ SDK provides a toolkit for the developer to produce low-cost, low-overhead security mechanisms for gaming machines. The mechanisms security features cover various aspects of security control and ensure:

• Customers' software applications can only run on designated
• Designated systems only run designated
• Compliance with S. and international gaming regulations for media validation.

SecureBoot™ is suited to tightly controlled environments where physical security of the machine and its environment are reliable. SecureBoot™ SDK offers several security schemes, each customisable to individual requirements. The SDK tools allow development of security ROM code that works in conjunction with the system BIOS. The game application boots normally only if verification completes successfully.

Simple Single-Stage Solution

This is the most common solution deployed. SecureBoot™ verifies contents of the boot medium using SHA-1 hash function of a chosen section of the boot media; and halts the system if verification against golden values fails.

Two-Stage Solution

In a two state SecureBoot™ mechanism, the Boot process proceeds as for the single-stage solution but the verification is applied to a second stage which contains further verification code and a RSA Certificate (public key only).This is then used to check the game application’s signatures.
