Practical Embedded Security: Building Secure Resource-Constrained Systems
內容描述
Description
The great strides made over the last decade in the
complexity and network functionality of embedded systems have significantly
enhanced their attractiveness for use in critical applications such as medical
devices and military communications. However, this expansion into critical
areas has presented embedded engineers with a serious new problem: their
designs are now being targeted by the same malicious attackers whose
predations have plagued traditional systems for years. Rising concerns about
data security in embedded devices are leading engineers to pay more attention
to security assurance in their designs than ever before. This is particularly
challenging due to embedded devices inherent resource constraints such as
limited power and memory. Therefore, traditional security solutions must be
customized to fit their profile, and entirely new security concepts must be
explored. However, there are few resources available to help engineers
understand how to implement security measures within the unique embedded
context. This new book from embedded security expert Timothy Stapko is the
first to provide engineers with a comprehensive guide to this pivotal topic.
From a brief review of basic security concepts, through clear explanations of
complex issues such as choosing the best cryptographic algorithms for embedded
utilization, the reader is provided with all the information needed to
successfully produce safe, secure embedded devices.The ONLY book
dedicated to a comprehensive coverage of embedded security!Covers both
hardware and software-based embedded security solutions for preventing and
dealing with attacksApplication case studies support practical
explanations of all key topics, including network protocols, wireless and
cellular communications, languages (Java and C/++), compilers, web-based
interfaces, cryptography, and an entire section on SSL
