Description: Embedded system security refers to the practice of securing devices and systems that integrate hardware and software to perform specific functions, often within a broader environment. These systems can be found in a variety of applications, from household appliances to vehicles and medical devices, and are vulnerable to attacks due to their connectivity and lack of robust security measures. Security in these systems involves implementing strategies and technologies that protect against unauthorized access, tampering, and other types of threats. This includes data encryption, user authentication, and regular software updates to fix vulnerabilities. The importance of security in embedded systems has grown exponentially with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), where millions of devices are interconnected, increasing the risk of cyberattacks. Therefore, securing these systems not only protects the integrity of individual devices but also safeguards the privacy and security of end users.
