Even if this technology has been conceived primarily to address security issues, embedded systems designers can leverage it to implement innovative configurations, satisfying different in nature requirements that typically arise in industrial applications and deep embedded systems{{efn|These kind of requirements are often totally independent of Internet connectivity}}. Two of such requirements are real-timeness and system integrity{{efn|In this context, for the terms '''integrity''' and '''security''' the definitions provided by <ref name="WP461">Ed Hallett, Giulio Corradi, Steven McNeil, ''Xilinx WP461 - Xilinx Reduces Risk and Increases Efficiency for IEC61508 and ISO26262 Certified Safety Applications (v1.0)'', April 9, 2015</ref> are in use:

* '''security''' refers to a system’s immunity to data disclosure or loss as a result of the unlawful electronic penetration of the system’s protections and defenses

This White Paper describes the TrustZone-based solution that DAVE Embedded Systems has implemented to meet all these requirements on [[:Category:Bora|BORA]] and [[:Category:BoraX|BORAX]] platforms. A technical description of the adopted approach is provided. Also, performance and characterization tests are detailed and considerations about future developments and improvements are included.
