Securing Embedded Systems using Virtualization


Hypervisors were once seen as purely cloud and server technologies, but have slowly seeped into the embedded space providing extra layers of security. This discussion will showcase how companies from security vendors to automotive are using open source hypervisors (particularly Xen Project) to secure embedded systems, what challenges they face and how they have overcome it. We will also explore what this might mean to IoT at large and how to get started in securing your embedded system with a hypervisor-first approach.

The topic will cover content such as: * Why virtualisation in embedded * Hypervisor architectures on ARM and a quick roundup of examples * Relevant security technologies * Specific requirements for embedded systems * Example usage of FOSS based hypervisors in embedded * Challenges such as safety certification and how this may be approached
