CASU: Compromise Avoidance via Secure Update for Low-end Embedded Systems. (arXiv:2209.00813v1 [cs.CR])

Guaranteeing runtime integrity of embedded system software is an open
problem. Trade-offs between security and other priorities (e.g., cost or
performance) are inherent, and resolving them is both challenging and
important. The proliferation of runtime attacks that introduce malicious code
(e.g., by injection) into embedded devices has prompted a range of mitigation
techniques. One popular approach is Remote Attestation (RA), whereby a trusted
entity (verifier) checks the current software state of an untrusted remote
device (prover). RA yields a timely …
