1. What is the Secure storage

Most of applications using STM32 microcontrollers offer non-volatile storage, to store application information, user information, device information,....
Such information could be sensible : User information, User position, Keys, system settings, ...
It means they have to be stored securely: Confidentiality + Authenticity + Integrity.
- Secure Storage is the feature allowing to securely store sensible information.
The Secure Storage is also guarantied by controlling who access to its services (Restrict access to plaintext secrets).
- Secure storage can be implemented based on different software architectures or can also rely on hardware mechanisms, depending on the platforms.
