CEC Semester Four 2013

In this lesson, we finish up both approaches to our "homemade" multitasking system and look at the differences and limitations of our approaches.

This class puts everything from the previous four days together. We will review general security mitigation principles and then learn how to apply knowledge of SCADA specific threats, vulnerabilities, and attack methods to formulate pragmatic and...

Once you know the threat sources and the vulnerabilities within your own systems, knowing the methods of how these systems can be attacked is a key component to formulating a pragmatic and efficient mitigation strategy. This class will look at the...

From people to processes to technology, vulnerabilities are the reason security is needed. Unfortunately, the sheer number of vulnerabilities in existence makes dealing with them a daunting task. This class helps students understand...

Once your embedded system is deployed it is a target, either directly by "invasive" probing of the actual board or via network-based attacks. Protecting your systems from these threats requires the use of advanced techniques like establishing a...

Modern techniques for security and authentication use a few key cryptographic concepts and algorithms to protect data and processes in embedded systems. This class provides an introduction to the most common techniques and standards, so you can...

One of the most vulnerable parts of an embedded system is the design itself. How can you protect your design from copying, cloning, overbuilding, and reverse engineering? This class will cover some key techniques that can protect your design from...
