Fault Management for Secure Embedded Systems

Abstract

This paper describes principles of an embedded system design propping safety and security using a dedicated architecture. After reviewing a simple specification language deployed, the main attention is focused on hardware architecture, software, and communication services that fit application requirements. The gasoline dispenser controller presents in this case a real-world solution of a safety and security critical embedded system application. The paper stresses those features that distinguish the real project from a demonstration case study.
