This is the second article in the series about embedded devices security, started with Strengthening the Security of Embedded Devices Embedded devices are specialized computing systems designed to perform specific tasks or functions within a larger system. Unlike general-purpose computers, embedded devices are typically integrated into other devices or systems and are dedicated to carrying out a specific set of functions. They are often characterized by their compact size, low power consumption, and optimized performance for their intended application. No  wonder that embedded devices are becoming increasingly prevalent, powering a wide range of applications such as IoT devices, industrial control systems, and automotive systems. With their growing ubiquity, ensuring the security of these embedded devices has become a critical concern. Secure booting is a fundamental security mechanism designed to protect embedded devices from unauthorized access and tampering, playing a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the system. This article explores the concept of secure booting for embedded devices and highlights its significance in enhancing overall security. Understanding Secure Booting Secure booting is a security feature that establishes a chain of trust during the booting process of a computer and embedded devices. It ensures that only trusted and verified software…
