Secure by Design for Embedded Devices (Paperback)

Paperback. SECURITY CAN'T BE AN AFTERTHOUGHT.Connected devices are everywhere-from cars and industrial controllers to medical equipment, smart devices, and embedded Linux systems. As these products become more connected, the consequences of getting security wrong become more serious.Secure by Design for Embedded Devices is a practical guide to building embedded products that are designed to resist attacks, protect sensitive systems, and remain secure throughout their operational lifetime.Instead of treating security as a checklist or a final-stage review, this book shows you how to make security part of the engineering process from the beginning-from requirements and threat modeling through hardware, firmware, operating systems, communications, updates, and fleet operations.You'll learn how the different layers of embedded security fit together and, more importantly, why each control matters, what it protects, and what can happen when it is missing.INSIDE THIS BOOK, YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO: Build security requirements that are specific, testable, and traceableTranslate frameworks such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, MDR, IEC 62443, and ISO/SAE 21434 into practical engineering controlsApply threat modeling and risk assessment to embedded productsDesign secure boot chains using keys, signatures, rollback protection, and hardware roots of trustHarden embedded Linux and other operating environments by reducing attack surfaces and strengthening runtime protectionsApply secure coding and isolation practices to embedded applicationsProtect keys, credentials, tokens, and other secrets in constrained environmentsSelect and implement cryptographic mechanisms appropriate for embedded systemsSecure device communications with TLS, mTLS, certificates, and device identityHarden SSH, web interfaces, custom protocols, and other network-facing servicesDesign reliable and secure OTA update systems with authentication, integrity protection, rollback, recovery, and A/B architecturesBuild practical vulnerability management and SBOM processes using technologies such as SPDX and CycloneDXMonitor embedded fleets, design useful logging strategies, and prepare incident-response playbooksApply security patterns specifically to automotive, medical, industrial, and IoT environmentsManage device identity, configuration, compliance, and security throughout the entire product lifecycleMORE THAN A SECURITY CHECKLISTOne of the biggest mistakes in embedded security is assuming that one technology can solve everything.Secure boot does not compensate for an insecure application. Strong cryptography does not help if encryption keys are poorly protected. A hardened operating system does not eliminate vulnerabilities in the services running on top of it.Real security comes from layers working together.WHO THIS BOOK IS FORIt is especially useful for: Embedded software and firmware engineersEmbedded Linux developersFirmware and systems architectsIoT engineersEmbedded security engineersAutomotive cybersecurity professionalsIndustrial and OT security engineersMedical-device engineering and security teamsTechnical leads and engineering managersProduct managers responsible for connected devicesSecurity professionals moving from enterprise IT into embedded systemsYou don't need to be a dedicated security researcher to benefit from this book. What you need is a technical foundation and a desire to build products that are secure by architecture-not merely secure by Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
