Secure Boot Requirements and Capabilities in Embedded Systems
[ Source: CPU Technology ]
May 2010-
The No. 1 vulnerability source in embedded processors is the initial boot phase of the device. Solutions to the problem of insecure boot processes vary enormously depending on the protection requirements of the system. Rather than relying on solutions based on product name, engineers will learn to make more informed decisions on how much end-system security they need, and match that to the various secure boot capabilities on the market, according to CPU Technology.

As the world computing infrastructure becomes likewise complicated, network and system communications have significant problems in identifying who to trust. Corporate and government personnel enter systems through a variety of methods: remote access, wireless PDAs, laptops via VPN from public access points. Establishing trust includes the identity of hardware and processor nodes, the identity and authenticity of software instructions, and the identity and authenticity of system users. Describing and categorizing all of the different types ...

January 2008-
The scheme specifically addresses characteristics of the RFID domain such as the strong capture effect. It also makes no restrictive assumptions on channel traffic. Experimental evidence and simulation results are presented showing that the proposed transmission control scheme performs well in practice. The results indicate that the time it takes to identify a large tag population can be reduced significantly when compared to existing approaches.
