Security Threats and Countermeasures for Embedded Systems
This session describes how to design a solution that can thwart security threats. It begins by focusing on threat modeling - a collaborative and iterative process of identifying objectives, threats, countermeasures, and risk-mitigation procedures that generates estimates of ROI on security options. The presentation next reviews the advantages and disadvantages of different technology/solution options, highlighting tradeoffs in security level and cost. Design techniques that augment and compliment security technologies are explained, including integration with a customer's system, business processes, auditing and legal mechanisms. Technical topics such as basic cryptography, hardware based security, and security best practices are covered in the discussion, too. |
