Integrating Security Modeling in Embedded System Design

There is an increasing concern of security threats as embedded systems are moving towards networked applications. Model based approaches have proven to be an effective solution for embedded systems design. In this paper the authors show that existing modeling tools are not sufficient to meet the current and future security challenges of networked embedded systems. The authors propose a framework to integrate security modeling in embedded system design. They have developed an example co-design environment that addresses security, functionality and system architecture aspects of embedded systems.
