ISaFe - Injecting Security Features into Constrained Embedded Firmware.

The vast majority of the IoT is made up of computing devices that are highly specialised for their particular purpose. Owing to their specialisation and the resulting constraints, such as energy consumption and the deterministic fulfilment of deadlines (real-time requirements), these embedded systems tend not to share many security features in common with standard operating systems. We aim to provide automated approaches to implant security features into connected embedded systems to counter the lack of security features in the backbone of the IoT and improve their resilience against unauthorised access attempts.
