The security process model of embedded systems

Abstract

Embedded systems for specific purposes perform certain roles in various environments. Security of embedded systems is becoming a paramount concern, and once a problem occurs in embedded systems, can lead to fatal accidents. Therefore, we need security policy for embedded systems. However, due to the limited size and performance, security techniques developed for enterprise and desktop computing might not satisfy embedded application requirements. In this paper, we analyze existing security policies and divide malicious attacks into three sections, and then present the security process model of embedded systems. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
