Enhancing System Security by Integrating Zephyr Bootloader and MCUboot
summary
Integration shows Zephyr Bootloader built with MCUboot to deliver verifiable secure boot plus atomic firmware updates: boot flow uses dual image slots and TLV metadata, MCUboot performs cryptographic validation (sha256, RSA or ECDSA via CONFIG_BOOT_SIGNATURE_TYPE_), and Zephyr handles boot sequencing and OTA. Demonstrations include flashing images, image swap behavior and recovery, and tests of rollback protection* with CONFIG_BOOT_VALIDATE_SLOT enabled. Reported results show successful secure updates and reliable fallback on failure.
