Embedded Systems Security
In the recent past, security measures were only considered a luxury in embedded systems. Nowadays, with the rise of IoT (Internet of Things) and the increased connectivity of embedded devices, security policies, such as the CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability), have become necessary in almost every case to protect the assets of the connected embedded system—specifically, the data being exchanged, processed, or saved. More information on the CIA triad can be found here.
Why NilTech Engineering?
At NilTech, the Security team ensures that resilience, confidentiality, and integrity are fulfilled in your embedded system to protect its digital assets.
- Embedded security requirements: The first step in securing any embedded system is to determine the security requirements needed to achieve the required security level. At NilTech, our System Design & IT Consulting Services team has the necessary experience to provide security requirements for your system.
- Embedded security architecture: Based on the determined security requirements, our NilTech security team designs a system architecture to fulfill these requirements. More information on software architecture designing can be found under our Software Design Services.
- Embedded security solutions: Building upon the system architecture, our NilTech security team implements a comprehensive security solution. Examples of our security solutions include network security, secure flash, secure boot-up, and Cloud Security solutions.
- Process conform security design: By analyzing the risks and threats facing your system, NilTech experts can deliver a Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) to make your system conform to the ISO/SAE 21434 security standard.
Embedded security fields at NilTech
- Automotive Network Security: With experience in the automotive embedded security field, NilTech can provide security for your network. Whether it is a CAN-based or an Ethernet-based network, security can be achieved by using firewalls and/or state-of-the-art security standards and protocols, e.g., SecOc, MACsec, IPsec, or TLS/SSL.
- Secure flash and secure system boot up: One of the significant challenges facing an embedded system is verifying whether the flashed code or executed code at system boot-up is from an authorized source. NilTech can assist in providing security mechanisms, such as secure signed software updates and secure system boot-up, by deploying the root of trust concept to ensure the executed code comes from an authorized source.
- IOT security: The Internet of Things (IoT) increases device connectivity, presenting both advantages and risks. Connectivity facilitates easier information exchange but also expands the attack vector as hackers can access devices remotely. For IoT security, both cloud security and embedded security are crucial to provide comprehensive IoT system security.
