Abstract

Computer hardware and software that perform real-world functions such as flight control, telecommunications switching, and network routing form a class of systems called embedded systems. These embedded systems have challenges that differ from general purpose computing. The security challenges of embedded systems have become a topic of concern in critical infrastructure such as SmartGrid. This presentation will discuss the embedded systems security challenges and a possible solution, Trusted Computing. Trusted Computing provides a tight coupling of hardware and software for security which can provide significant security enhancements over software only solutions and is highly applicable to embedded systems.
