Abstract:
Embedded systems are the driving force for technological development in many domains such as
automotive, healthcare, and industrial control in the emerging post-PC era. As more and more
computational and networked devices are integrated into all aspects of our lives in a pervasive
and “invisible” way, security becomes critical for the dependability of all smart or intelligent
systems built upon these embedded systems. In this paper, we conduct a systematic review of the
existing threats and vulnerabilities in embedded systems based on public available data.
Moreover, based on the information, we derive an attack taxonomy for embedded systems. We
envision that the findings in this paper provide a valuable insight of the threat landscape facing
embedded systems. The knowledge can be used for a better understanding and the identification
of security risks in system analysis and design.
