| 4 | The **Arm Reference Design-1 AE**, or **RD-1 AE** introduces the concept of a high-performance |
| 5 | Arm\ :sup:`®` Neoverse\ :sup:`TM` V3AE Application Processor (Primary Compute) system |
| 6 | augmented with an Arm\ :sup:`®` Cortex\ :sup:`®`-R82AE based Safety Island for scenarios where |
| 7 | additional system safety monitoring is required. The system additionally includes a Runtime Security |
| 8 | Engine (RSE) used for the secure boot of the system elements and the runtime Secure Services. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | The Reference Software Stack implements the following Secure Services on top of |
| 11 | the Trusted Services framework: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * Crypto Service |
| 14 | * Secure Storage Service |
| 15 | * UEFI SMM Services |
| 16 | |
| 17 | On the Primary Compute, the implementation of Crypto Service and Secure Storage Service is based |
| 18 | on the SE Proxy secure partition. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | The Primary Compute also provides the implementation of UEFI SMM Services via the |
| 21 | SMM Gateway Secure Partition (SMM Gateway SP) to support UEFI Variable Service. |
