Embedded Security Report
Avoiding Embedded Security Disasters:
What Vendors, OEMs and Developers need to know about Embedded Security

Embedded systems are responsible for the availability and functionality of many critical systems, from factory automation to gas pipeline monitors to networking equipment. Unfortunately, the critical importance of embedded systems is seldom matched with a strong, comprehensive security infrastructure.

This report examines several significant embedded systems security concerns, and where possible outlines recommended courses of remedial action. Major issues discussed include:

• Lack of certified encryption technology currently in use.
• Unproven protocol implementations.
• Lack of management and monitoring.
• Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) as a viable embedded standard
