1.1 Test Secure Debug Interfaces

Here’s a polished and complete draft for your "1.1 Test Secure Debug Interfaces" section, with placeholders where your specific DUT details can be inserted. This will make it look professional and ready for a security compliance or validation report.

1. Hardware Level Security Parameter

1.1 Test – Secure Debug Interfaces

Requirement Description

Verify that all hardware and application layer debugging interfaces (such as USB, UART, JTAG, and other serial variants) are either:

  • Disabled in the production configuration, or

  • Protected by strong authentication mechanisms (e.g., complex password, cryptographic access control).

This ensures that no unauthorized physical or remote debugging access can be gained to the DUT.

DUT Confirmation Details

  • OEM Statement: (Insert confirmation from OEM whether any debug interfaces are enabled in production units, with justification.)

  • Observed State: (Insert your observed results after inspection and testing.)

DUT Software Details

  • Software Name/Version: ___________________

  • Build Date: ___________________

  • Build Number: ___________________

Hash Checksum Verification for DUT’s Software Image

  • Algorithm Used: SHA-256 (or other specified algorithm)

  • Expected Hash: ___________________

  • Calculated Hash: ___________________

  • Result: Pass / Fail

DUT Configuration

Provide the relevant device configuration snippet or commands used to confirm the status of debug interfaces. Example:

show hardware status
show interface usb status
show interface uart status

Pre-Conditions

The vendor shall provide:

  1. Datasheet of the SoC being used in the device.

  2. Documentation listing all ports/interfaces enabled in the production devices, along with the corresponding access control mechanism.

  3. Manufacturing/Provisioning process flow for the device.

Test Plan

Total Number of Test Cases: 4

Test Cases:

  1. Physically inspect DUT for exposed debug ports.

  2. Attempt to establish a connection via USB/UART/JTAG ports.

  3. Verify authentication mechanism (if port is enabled).

  4. Confirm that disabling mechanism is irreversible in production units.
