laurenw-arm b908814c74 docs(threat-model): supply chain threat model TF-A
Software supply chain attacks aim to inject malicious code into a
software product. There are several ways a malicious code can be
injected into a software product (open-source project).

These include:
- Malicious code commits
- Malicious dependencies
- Malicious toolchains

This document provides analysis of software supply chain attack
threats for the TF-A project

TF-A Firmware Threat Model
==========================
As the TF-A codebase is highly configurable to allow tailoring it best for each
platform's needs, providing a holistic threat model covering all of its features
is not necessarily the best approach. Instead, we provide a collection of
documents which, together, form the project's threat model. These are
articulated around a core document, called the :ref:`Generic Threat Model`,
which focuses on the most common configuration we expect to see. The other
documents typically focus on specific features not covered in the core document.
As the TF-A codebase evolves and new features get added, these threat model
documents will be updated and extended in parallel to reflect at best the
current status of the code from a security standpoint.
.. note::
Although our aim is eventually to provide threat model material for all
features within the project, we have not reached that point yet. We expect
to gradually fill these gaps over time.
Each of these documents give a description of the target of evaluation using a
data flow diagram, as well as a list of threats we have identified using the
`STRIDE threat modeling technique`_ and corresponding mitigations.
