Jul 1, 2025In July 2025, delivered a security-focused documentation enhancement for the phytec/doc-bsp-yocto repository, strengthening Secure Key Storage guidance. Specifically, added the PKCS#11 --private parameter to secure-key-storage.rsti and clarified PIN-protected access to public objects (e.g., certificates) to improve secure key management and reduce unauthorized access risk. This update supports security audits, onboarding, and maintainability, and reflects alignment with security standards. No major bugs fixed this month. Technologies demonstrated include PKCS#11 usage, secure key management concepts, and documentation engineering in a Yocto project repository.
