Frequently Asked Questions

How does the ZYMKEY4 ensure root file system security?

The ZYMKEY4 implements an encrypted root file system, leveraging hardware-backed keys stored within the module. This mechanism prevents unauthorized access or modification of the operating system, ensuring system integrity from boot-up. It safeguards against software-level tampering and data breaches effectively.

What tamper detection capabilities does the ZYMKEY4 offer?

The module integrates both perimeter breach detection and an accelerometer for physical tamper detection. Perimeter breach sensors detect enclosure intrusions, while the accelerometer identifies unauthorized movement or shock events. Upon detection, ZYMKEY4 can trigger predefined security responses, enhancing device resilience.

Is the ZYMKEY4 compatible with all Raspberry Pi and Jetson models?

The ZYMKEY4 is designed to be compatible with Raspberry Pi models featuring the standard 40-pin GPIO header and NVIDIA Jetson platforms like the Jetson Nano. It utilizes the I2C bus and a dedicated GPIO pin for communication, ensuring broad hardware compatibility across various SBCs.

What kind of key management features are included?

ZYMKEY4 offers secure key storage and generation capabilities. It can generate and store cryptographic keys (e.g., for TLS client certificates, digital signatures) in a hardware-protected environment, preventing extraction or cloning. This ensures that sensitive cryptographic operations are performed within the module's secure enclave.

Does ZYMKEY4 include a Real-Time Clock (RTC)?

Yes, the ZYMKEY4 includes a precision, battery-backed Real-Time Clock (RTC). This ensures accurate timekeeping for logging, timestamping, and cryptographic operations, even when the host SBC is powered off. A reliable RTC is crucial for maintaining the integrity of security protocols and certificates.
