Abstract:
Abstract—One of the main aspects of modern life is the interaction with sensors and other embedded systems. These systems become increasingly more integrated with daily life activities. They enable the interaction between a variety of components or parties (people, actuator, sensor, software, etc.). This interaction causes the appearance of new challenges in the design of security-related aspects of embedded systems. This paper uses the SHIELD methodology of the JU Artemis to provide Security, Privacy and Dependability (SPD) levels of embedded systems. We propose an extension of the methodology to take into consideration interactions between components, and introduce functions describing the significance of the interconnections. The complete methodology enables the composition of SPD as an add-on or as a built-in feature, and is thus applicable to an already built embedded system or to the development of embedded systems.
