Embedded Systems Security
Embedded systems are computing systems designed for dedicated functions within larger systems, often with real-time constraints. They consist of a combination of hardware, software, and optionally mechanical parts. The software for embedded systems is often written in low-level programming languages, such as C or assembly language, to optimize performance and minimize memory usage. In addition to the application code, embedded systems also require software for managing the hardware interfaces, such as device drivers, communication protocols, and embedded OSes. Embedded systems are commonly found in consumers, industrials, automotives, home appliances, smart buildings, medical, telecommunication, commercial, aerospace and military applications. With the increasing use of IoT, embedded systems are becoming more connected and integrated with other systems, which presents new challenges for ensuring security and reliability. Embedded systems typically have limited resources in t...
