Abstract
Embedded system security is an emerging area of research and development that addresses the problem of security vulnerabilities in embedded systems. The wide deployment of embedded systems as part of our infrastructure and daily life makes this an important topic. From a technical point of view, providing security in embedded systems presents a interesting challenge because their implementation and deployment characteristic open novel avenues of attack. To provide security guarantees, suitable countermeasures and improved system designs are being developed. This special issue contains six articles that present an overview and recent research results related to embedded system security. The articles were selected from a number of papers that were presented at the Second Workshop on Embedded System Security (WESS’07), which was held on October 4, 2007 in conjunction with EMSOFT/ESWEEK 2007 in Salzburg, Austria. In addition, a tutorial article was added to provide an introduction to embedded system security as well as an overview on related research. The combination of these articles represents an interesting cross-section of topics in embedded system security research:
