The module EMBED­DEDSEC provides partic­i­pants with methods for designing an embedded system architecture that reflects their security goals. Building on the concepts of the Foundation Level, the module intro­duces partic­i­pants to analysis methods for identi­fying protection-worthy assets and deriving security goals for embedded systems. It presents qualities, design patterns, and technologies that help in achieving security goals and famil­iarize partic­i­pants with common attack patterns.

Finally, techniques for verifying and validating security properties are presented. At the end of the module, partic­i­pants know approaches to designing embedded archi­tec­tures with security as a quality in mind and are able to identify security risks and select suitable control measures.
