High–integrity systems are deployed in order to realize safety–critical applications. To meet the rigorous requirements in this domain, these systems require a sophisticated approach to design, verfication, and certification. Not only safety consideration shave an impact on a product’s overall dependability, but also security has to be taken into account. In this paper we analyze the Time–Triggered System–on–Chip (TTSoC) architecture, which is a novel architecture for Multi–Processor System–on–Chip (MPSoC) devices, regarding its security properties. We discuss essential compliance criteria to the Multiple Independent Layers of Security (MILS) architecture, which is a industry–ready architecture for embedded high–integrity systems. We found that both architectures share intrinsic properties and we are able to show that the TTSoC architecture implements the core requirements of a MILS Separation Kernel and thus realizes its elementary security policies by design.
