Abstract
An electronic lock for controlling access to a restricted physical space. The electronic lock comprises: electronically-controllable lock hardware; and a system-on-chip, SoC, comprising a processor and memory. The SoC comprises: a trusted environment comprising a secure data storage and a lock-core software module comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic lock to: evaluate access for a user based on data stored in the secure data storage and control the lock hardware based on the evaluation; and an untrusted environment comprising untrusted software that is prevented from bypassing the lock-core software module to control the electronically-controllable lock hardware.

An electronic lock for controlling access to a restricted physical space, the electronic lock comprising:
- electronically-controllable lock hardware;
- and
- a system-on-chip, SoC, comprising a processor and memory;
- wherein the SoC comprises:
- a trusted environment comprising a secure data storage and a lock-core software module comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic lock to:
- evaluate access for a user based on data stored in the secure data storage and control the lock hardware based on the evaluation, wherein the access is evaluated based on credentials, from an electronic key of the user, that are authenticated and authorized by the lock-core software module;
- and
- an untrusted environment comprising untrusted software that is prevented from bypassing the lock-core software module to control the electronically-controllable lock hardware.
