Aitech Whitepaper: Cybersecurity for Embedded Systems in Defense & Aerospace

Aitech has released a whitepaper detailing the security threats that embedded systems face in defense and aerospace and a series of techniques for securing Intel processor-based systems and the AiSecure Cybersecurity Architecture protection available at the hardware and firmware level.

The defense and aerospace sector is subject to a variety of security threats through all phases of the lifecycle of an embedded system. This starts with cyberattacks to gain access to vendors’ servers and steal design information, then continues with efforts to take control of the embedded systems or retrieve classified information from the aircraft, UAVs, SUAVs, etc. during their infield deployment, and in the case of a crashed UAV or loss of control, extract critical information from or reverse engineer/clone different hardware and software elements of the system.

Aitech developed the AiSecure Cybersecurity Architecture to provide a comprehensive solution for cybersecurity threats for users of Aitech Secured Single Board Computers. This paper summarizes cybersecurity threats and protection techniques with special attention to the solution introduced by Aitech, based on a combination of hardware and firmware tools.
