Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods disclosed herein include renewable secure boot systems for renewing and booting a target device. Systems and methods include techniques by which a secure boot may be implemented in a renewable fashion on a reprogrammable device. More specifically, in certain embodiments, systems and methods are described where target devices securely receive an encrypted boot image and one or more authorization codes from a third party. The one or more authorization codes are derivatives of a target device hardware secret, allowing the authorization codes to be changed at will, thus increasing flexibility and security of the system.
