Trend Guide "Embedded Safety & Security"
Safety and security describe different properties of embedded software systems. However, a closer look reveals how closely the operational reliability of software-intensive embedded systems is linked to protection against unauthorized access or targeted attacks. The necessary measures pose significant challenges for both software and hardware developers. Security has many facets. Reading this trend guide will provide you with numerous suggestions.
