Today, security can no longer be treated as a secondary issue in embedded and cyber-
physical systems. Therefore, one of the main challenges in these domains is the design of …

Introducing security features in a system is not free and brings along its costs and impacts.
Considering this fact is essential in the design of real-time embedded systems which have …

In this paper we consider distributed embedded systems in which privacy or confidentiality of
the internal communication is critical, and present an approach to optimizing cryptographic …

The BeepBeep algorithm is designed to supply secrecy and integrity for embedded real-time
systems. These systems must achieve their required timing performance under all …

In some multimedia communication applications for portable devices, the media should be
encrypted for confidentiality and privacy. Since portable devices have relatively limited …

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a part of multimedia content and this communication is growing
rapidly in portable devices due to its attractive features. Secure communication is critical as …

A number of real-time embedded systems (RTESs) are used to manage critical infrastructure
such as electric grids or C4I systems. In these systems, it is essential to meet deadlines, for …

Abstract Modern Distributed Embedded Systems (DESs) tend to be more connected to other
peers or external networks. This opens the gate for potential security attacks, although it is …

To effectively encrypt data memory contents of an embedded processor, multiple keys which
are dynamically changed are necessary. However, the resources required to store and …

In this paper, we approach embedded systems design from a new angle that considers not
only quality of service but also security as part of the design process. Moreover, we also take …
