OWASP Embedded Application Security Project
Every year the prevalent use of embedded software within enterprise and consumer devices continues to rise exponentially. With widespread publicity of the IoT, more and more devices are becoming network connected evidencing how essential it is to create secure coding guidelines for embedded software. Embedded Application Security is often not a high priority for embedded developers when they are producing devices such as Routers, Managed Switches, Medical Devices, IoT devices, and ATM Kiosks due to other challenges outside of development. Other challenges developers face may include but are not limited to the 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. Given the prevalence of Linux kernels utilized within embedded devices, all code examples are geared towards a POSIX environment but the principals are designed to be platform agnostic.
