As security becomes a top priority in embedded systems, features like Secure Boot are more critical than ever. However, these protections often come at the cost of increased boot time — a trade-off that’s especially painful in performance-sensitive environments.

This talk will look at the steps necessary for Secure Boot and typical security hardening features and examine the impact they have on boot speed, highlighting real-world examples and measurable overheads.

We will explore practical techniques to mitigate these slowdowns, and show how a well designed software architecture can help you achieve both faster and more secure boot processes.
