Dynamic analysis of firmware components in IoT devices

SecureList

As a rule, this means that the source code of the device’s firmware is unavailable and all the researcher can use is the user manual and a few threads on some user forum discussing the device’s operation. The vulnerability assessment of IoT/IIoT devices is based on analyzing their firmware.

Types of Encryption, Methods & Use Cases

eSecurity Planet

Encryption scrambles data to make it unreadable to those without decryption keys. Proper use of encryption preserves secrecy and radically lowers the potential damage of a successful cybersecurity attack. Encryption algorithm types will provide an overview of the mathematical algorithms used to encrypt data (AES, RSA, etc.),

ÆPIC Leak is the first CPU flaw able to architecturally disclose sensitive data

Security Affairs

Researchers uncovered a new flaw, dubbed ÆPIC, in Intel CPUs that enables attackers to obtain encryption keys and other secret information from the processors. The ÆPIC Leak ( CVE-2022-21233 ) is the first architecturally CPU bug that could lead to the disclosure of sensitive data and impacts most 10th, 11th and 12th generation Intel CPUs.

Use cases of secure IoT deployment

Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing

In our previous blog post , we discussed the challenges for securing IoT deployments, and how businesses and consumers benefit from authenticating and validating IoT software and firmware updates. Requirements also included that the firmware was to be signed by the manufacturer and verified by the pacemaker.

Guest Blog: TalkingTrust. What’s driving the security of IoT?

Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing

Additionally, many auto manufacturers now have the ability to remotely update software to fix vulnerabilities or even upgrade functionality. For instance, running heavy software-based agents just isn’t an option in an embedded pacemaker or insulin pump device. The same rings true for encryption and authentication.
