With widespread use of common-off-the-shelf components and the drive towards connection
with external environments, the real-time systems are facing more and more security …

Embedded real-time systems are widely adopted in safety-critical domains such as aircrafts,
automobiles and space vehicles. Unfortunately, with the sharp rise in the use of common-off …

Schedule randomization is one of the recently introduced security defenses against
schedule-based attacks, ie, attacks whose success depends on a particular ordering …

In this paper, we investigate the impact of priority assignment on schedule-based attacks in
fixed-priority real-time systems. Through the schedule-based attacks, attackers may …

Traditionally, most real-time systems (RTS) were considered to be invulnerable to security
breaches and external attacks. This was mainly due to the use of proprietary hardware and …

In real-time embedded systems (RTS), failures due to security breaches can cause serious
damage to the system, the environment and/or injury to humans. Therefore, it is very …

Many real-time systems are safety-critical, where reliability is crucial. Under traditional
scheduling mechanism, the execution patterns of the tasks on such system can be easily …

Embedded computing systems are becoming increasingly relevant in the Internet of Things
(IoT) and edge computing domains, where they are often employed as the control entity of a …

Security is an increasing concern for real-time systems (RTS). Over the last decade or so,
researchers have demonstrated attacks and defenses aimed at such systems. In this article …

Recent real-time systems have been gradually connected externally through the Internet. As
each subsystem constituting a system has been developed from different vendors, the …
