Safety and Security Coengineering in Embedded Systems

Reliability, Safety, and Security in Everyday Embedded Systems (Extended Abstract)

Extended Abstract Embedded systems permeate our everyday lives. From automobiles to elevators, kitchen appliances to televisions, and water heaters to cell phones, we increasingly depend upon embedded systems to operate as expected. A few obviously critical embedded application domains, such as aviation, have traditionally benefited from extraordinary care during development to ensure that ever...

Security in Embedded Systems

Security has traditionally been a subject of intensive research in the area of computing and networking. However, security of embedded systems is often ignored during the design and development period of the product, thus leaving many devices vulnerable to attacks. The growing number of embedded systems today (mobile phones, pay-tv devices, household appliances, home automation products, indust...

Restart-Based Security Mechanisms for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems

Many physical plants that are controlled by embedded systems have safety requirements that need to be respected at all times – any deviations from expected behavior can result in damage to the system (often to the physical plant), the environment or even endanger human life. In recent times, malicious attacks against such systems have increased – many with the intent to cause physical damage. I...

Embedded Systems Security Challenges

In a world of pervasive computing, embedded systems can be found in a wide range of products and are employed in various heterogeneous domains. The abovementioned devices often need to access, store, manipulate and/or communicate sensitive or even critical information, making the security of their resources and services an important concern in their design process. These issues are further exac...
