However, this expansion into critical areas has presented embedded engineers with a serious new problem: their designs are now being targeted by the same malicious attackers whose predations have plagued traditional systems for years. Rising concerns about data security in embedded devices are leading engineers to pay more attention to security assurance in their designs than ever before. This is particularly challenging due to embedded devices’ inherent resource constraints such as limited power and memory. Therefore, traditional security solutions must be customized to fit their profile, and entirely new security concepts must be explored. However, there are few resources available to help engineers understand how to implement security measures within the unique embedded context. This new book from embedded security expert Timothy Stapko is the first to provide engineers with a comprehensive guide to this pivotal topic. From a brief review of basic security concepts, through clear explanations of complex issues such as choosing the best cryptographic algorithms for embedded utilization, the reader is provided with all the information needed to successfully produce safe, secure embedded devices.

Free Practical Embedded Security: Building Secure Resource-Constrained Systems
I've spent 14 years as a Firmware Engineer in Telecom and Industrial Controls. While we do our best to make bug-free products, it is rare that time and effort are spent securing these devices. Most systems attempt to use "security through obscurity", which we all know only goes so far.
The Embedded development paradigm is quite different from PC programming - our resources are very limited; most of the products I've developed have had memory (RAM and Code) measured in kilobytes, not like today's PCs with gigabytes to burn!
This book covers the basics of how to secure a device with such limited resources. First the book covers the general concepts involved in security. Next it goes into the various protocols and how they are attacked and defended. The last two chapters cover specific examples on a PIC processor and on a Rabbit processor. These two parts fit exactly into the middle of the range of embedded processors used today.
The author speaks freely of the limitations of each of the current protocols. His writing is clear and makes for an interesting read (quite an accomplishment on a topic that could be quite acedemic!).
I gave the book "only" 4-stars because the Sample Programs are not provided on CD nor is there an obvious link to source code on the web. While the material is a port of OpenSSL (which is available), it would have saved readers time re-typing the sample source code.
Otherwise, I find this to be a great start to making my designs more secure!
