Abstract
A firmware update method includes requesting a hardware security module (HSM) to store version information of a current firmware stored in a flash memory and storing, by the HSM, the version information of the current firmware. The firmware update method also includes erasing the flash memory when the version information of the current firmware is stored by the HSM and writing new downloaded firmware to the flash memory; verifying an integrity of the new firmware. The firmware update method further includes requesting the HSM to sense downgrade of the new firmware when the integrity is verified. The firmware update method additionally includes determining, by the HSM, whether the firmware is downgraded by comparing the stored version information and the version information of the new firmware. The firmware update method also includes confirming a reprogramming success when it is determined that the firmware is not downgraded by the HSM.
