Hardware-Enhanced Protection for the Runtime Data Security in Embedded Systems

Hardware Security Modules for Embedded Systems

Being able to trust another IT system that “it always acts as expected” requires consecutive trust into all layers, which are involved in creating a trustworthy IT system. Figure 1 depicts the “pyramid of trust” for a typical IT system, where trust into the whole IT system requires that each layer can rely on the effective security of its underlying layer without being able to verify it directl...

An Architecture for Security and Protection of Big Data

The issue of online privacy and security is a challenging subject, as it concerns the privacy of data that are increasingly more accessible via the internet. In other words, people who intend to access the private information of other users can do so more efficiently over the internet. This study is an attempt to address the privacy issue of distributed big data in the context of cloud computin...

Modeling Requirements for Security-enhanced Design of Embedded Systems

Designing an embedded system is a complex process that involves working on both hardware and software. The first step in the design process is defining functional and non-functional requirements; among them, it is fundamental to also consider security. We propose an effective way for designers to specify security requirements starting from User Security Requirements. User Security Requirements ...
