BACKUS Embedded systems ncreased security is essential to the rapid growth occurring across nearly all end-equipment categories. The diverse security requirements are especially apparent in embedded systems where increased connectivity, portability, and pervasive design objectives are implemented. Thus, the need for security and the particulars of its implementation are driven by entirely different mechanisms. Issues relating to data security and the protection of user identity or encryption keys represent a small portion of considerations now facing designers of next generation systems. Specific security requirements guarding intellectual property (IP), anti-cloning, intra-device/system authentication, as well as threat detection and mitigation schemes, should all be serious considerations. In addition, as pervasive computing and connectivity increase, protection against security threats extends into even further obscure areas requiring consideration of system behavioral characteristics. In a networked environment, even a single malfunctioning node can disrupt the entire connected community. Addressing these concerns has lead to the formation of a set of standards and certification schemes that provide levels of assurance to designers, manufacturers, and end users of next-generation products and systems. Pervasive computing is one of the most difficult security challenges to address. It represents the integration of multiple I 12 OCTOBER 2007 | embedded systems design europe | www.embedded.com/europe 012-013-014-016_ESDE.indd 12 9/10/07 13:02:51 http://www.embedded.com/europe
