- All TF-A images are run from either ROM or on-chip trusted SRAM. This means
TF-A is not vulnerable to an attacker that can probe or tamper with off-chip
memory.
+
- Trusted boot is enabled. This means an attacker can't boot arbitrary images
that are not approved by platform providers.

- There is no Secure-EL2. We don't consider threats that may come with
Secure-EL2 software.
