Trusted Computing Technologies for Embedded Systems and Sensor Networks

Abstract

Embedded processors are closely integrated into the fabric of everyday life, such as cars and cell phones. These embedded processors enable new features; however, the features increase complexity. The steady increase in complexity results in bugs, which require software updates to fix. This leads to the question "How do we securely use (potentially) compromised devices or devices we don't trust?" Briefing examines the attacker model and how to ensure code integrity.
