Security is a key enabler for embedded systems, Intenet of things (IoT) devices, and cyber–physical systems. Security is, however, a complex problem that can be tackled successfully only if addressed in a holistic way. To achieve this, it is highly imperative to possess a complete understanding of all the threats that these embedded devices would have to face, to provide designers with the appropriate tools to spot weaknesses, and to realize secure systems. These two goals cannot be easily reached, since the literature on security is spread over a large number of conferences and journals often “belonging” to different communities.

客座编辑介绍：硬件和嵌入式安全精选特刊


安全性是嵌入式系统、物联网 (IoT) 设备和网络物理系统的关键推动因素。然而，安全是一个复杂的问题，只有全面解决才能成功解决。为了实现这一目标，非常有必要全面了解这些嵌入式设备将面临的所有威胁，为设计人员提供适当的工具来发现弱点并实现安全系统。这两个目标不容易实现，因为有关安全的文献分布在大量会议和期刊中，而这些会议和期刊通常“属于”不同的社区。
