This practical guide to building embedded and IoT devices securely is an essential resource for current and future developers tasked with protecting users from the potential threats of these ubiquitous devices. The application domains of embedded systems are extremely wide. They’re used in controllers, sensors, and actuators in industrial automation, transportation, and critical infrastructure systems. Communication and network hardware like routers, switches, and base stations are based on them too. In the consumer market, typical products with embedded systems include smart washing machines, intelligent heating systems, and gaming consoles. Even the plastic cards we use for banking and building access control can be considered a type of embedded system. As an engineer, you know that countless devices—from industrial components to smart household appliances—rely on embedded computer systems. But how do you balance the need for robust security with performance and innovative product design? Engineering Secure Devices will guide you through crafting secure devices—from protecting crucial assets to the nature of attackers and the risks they pose. You’ll explore the technical intricacies and pros and cons of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography and learn how to use and analyze random number generators and cryptographic algorithms. You’ll learn how to ensure confidential data storage and secure memory, and devise secure device identity solutions and communication protocols to reinforce system architecture against potential threats. And finally, you’ll learn how to properly design secure boot and secure update processes, manage access control, and perform system monitoring to secure IoT devices.
