Security for embedded systems involves issues beyond those problems currently being addressed for enterprise and desktop computing. Because embedded systems can effect changes in the physical world, the consequences of exploiting their security vulnerabilities can go beyond mere annoyance to significant societal disruption. Let’s dispense with the most obvious potential attack first.

Battery Attacks

idea posted by Gunjan Pandey Project Manager, Samsung Electronics
Many thermostats, including at least one Internet brand, are battery powered. This is partly because line voltage isn’t available and partly because safely converting line voltage to a thermostat’s needs takes a large converter that costs money, requires extra wiring, and complicates electrical safety. But too many networking conversations can run the battery down quickly. If the thermostat is connected to the Internet, an attacker could run the battery down simply by repeatedly querying the thermostat’s status.

Interactive Matters

idea posted by Hemant Mishra Project Manager, AMD
Many embedded systems interact with the real world. A security breach thus can result in physical side effects, including property damage, personal injury, and even death.
