Secure Firmware-Over-the-Air Updates for ESP8266-based IoT devices?

IoT devices without a build-in firmware update capability make hardly sense. However, the implementation of the same on small devices can be quite challenging, and often is done at the expense of security. This article gives an insight into this problematic taking ...

A Tool-Based Security Analysis – Part 2: Damage Classes And Potentials

In Part 1 of this blog series, we have seen how the attack potential of an attacking agent can be modeled. For our system, we also want to model the parts and aspects that we want to protect and the damage that can be done by an attacker. So as a next step, we ...
