+Trusted Firmware-A
+==================
+
+Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is a reference implementation of secure world software
+for `Arm A-Profile architectures`_ (Armv8-A and Armv7-A), including an Exception
+Level 3 (EL3) `Secure Monitor`_. It provides a suitable starting point for
+productization of secure world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32
+or AArch64 execution states.
+
+TF-A implements Arm interface standards, including:
+
+-  `Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)`_
+-  `Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)`_
+-  `SMC Calling Convention`_
+-  `System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)`_
+-  `Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)`_
+
+The code is designed to be portable and reusable across hardware platforms and
+software models that are based on the Armv8-A and Armv7-A architectures.
+
+In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance TF-A
+with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working
+with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology.
+
+Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration
+testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
