Instead, we provide a collection of +documents which, together, form the project's threat model. These are +articulated around a core document, called the :ref:`Generic Threat Model`, +which focuses on the most common configuration we expect to see. The other +documents typically focus on specific features not covered in the core document. + +As the TF-A codebase evolves and new features get added, these threat model +documents will be updated and extended in parallel to reflect at best the +current status of the code from a security standpoint. + + .. note:: + + Although our aim is eventually to provide threat model material for all + features within the project, we have not reached that point yet. We expect + to gradually fill these gaps over time. + +Each of these documents give a description of the target of evaluation using a +data flow diagram, as well as a list of threats we have identified using the +`STRIDE threat modeling technique`_ and corresponding mitigations. + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + :caption: Contents + + threat_model + threat_model_el3_spm + threat_model_fvp_r + threat_model_rss_interface + threat_model_arm_cca + +-------------- + +*Copyright (c) 2021-2023, Arm Limited and Contributors.
