Hello.


I'm developing the RSE Firmware based on neoverse rdv3r1 and tf-m version 2.2.2



In TF-M v2.2.2, I found code for ROTPK revocation and updates. 

I think this code is intended for scenarios where keys, 

such as the private key corresponding to a ROTPK, need to be replaced.


It seems that revoking or updating a ROTPK is authorized by verifying a signature generated with the private key corresponding to that ROTPK.

If this understanding is correct, 

I would expect an additional authorization step to take place before TF-M processes the request.


For example, if changing ROTPK “A” can be authorized

by a signature generated with its corresponding private key, “A_private,”

this seems potentially risky from a security perspective.


Am I understanding this correctly, or am I missing something?


If an additional authorization step is expected before the ROTPK revocation or update procedure in TF-M,

could you provide an example of what that step would involve?



Thanks

Best Regards

Phillip
