Abstract

Many embedded systems have relatively strong security requirements because they handle confidential data or support secure electronic transactions. A prototypical example are payment terminals. To ensure that sensitive data such as cryptographic keys cannot leak, security-critical parts of these systems are implemented as separate chips, and hence physically isolated from other parts of the system.

Keywords: software security memory protection isolation
