Root of Trust (RoT)
A root of trust (RoT) is a source within a computing system that is inherently and implicitly trusted. RoTs are designed to be the "first link" in a security chain, providing functions such as cryptographic key storage, identity verification, and integrity measurement that the rest of the system can rely upon.
