“…The paper [ 11 ] summarizes the comparative analysis of common threats, vulnerabilities, attacks and applied measures for two areas: smart card/RFID technology and wireless sensor network node technology. The assumed TVAC security model (Threat-Vulnerability-Attacker-Countermeasure) can be useful to define properly threat items in the methodology presented below.…”

“…The paper [ 11 ] points at similarities between the smart card/RFID technology and wireless sensor network node technology with respect to threats, vulnerabilities, attacks and applied measures. Because the smart card/RFID solutions group is one of the most numerous groups of certified IT products or systems [ 24 ], the published security specifications for these solutions can be helpful for wireless sensor developers as well as with respect to the above mentioned risk management issues, i.e.…”

The paper is focused on the security issues of sensors provided with processors and software and used for high-risk applications. Common IT related threats may cause serious consequences for sensor system users. To improve their robustness, sensor systems should be developed in a restricted way that would provide them with assurance. One assurance creation methodology is Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408) used for IT products and systems. The paper begins with a primer on the Common Criteria, and then a general security model of the intelligent sensor as an IT product is discussed. The paper presents how the security problem of the intelligent sensor is defined and solved. The contribution of the paper is to provide Common Criteria (CC) related security design patterns and to improve the effectiveness of the sensor development process.

“…A threat model or attack tree can be used to deduce necessary SCs at the beginning of the system's design phase. We derived a list of SCs for the software implementation of a smart card from attacks described in [7,8,9,10]. The list below is not exhaustive but should indicate how the concept of SCs works.…”

Abstract. Most modern embedded systems include an operating system. Not all functions in the operating systems have to fulfill the same security requirements. In this work we 1 propose a mechanism to identify and maintain functions that have to meet strict security needs. This mechanism is based on annotations representing security constrains and assertions to check these security annotations during the verification phase of the system under development.
