OWASP Embedded Application Security Project
Each year, the number of enterprise and consumer devices with embedded software are on the rise. Given the publicity with IoT and more devices becoming network connected, it is essential to create secure coding guidelines for embedded software. Embedded Application Security is not often a high priority for embedded devices such as Routers, Managed Switches, IoT devices, and even ATM Kiosks. There are many challenges in the embedded field including ODM supply chain, limited memory, a small stack, and the challenge of pushing firmware updates securely to an endpoint. The goal of this project is to create a list of best practices, provide practical guidance to embedded developers, and to draw on the resources that OWASP already has to bring application security expertise to the embedded world.
