Embedded Application Security Best Practices

OWASP Embedded Application Security Project Wiki Page

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the OWASP Embedded Application Security Project. This is the development version of the OWASP Embedded Application Security Best Practices Guide, and will be converted into PDF & MediaWiki for publishing when complete.

This document was put together by the collaborative efforts of developers, engineers, and hobbyists with the sole purpose of assisting manufacturers produce embedded devices with security in mind. A special "thank you" is due to all those who have contributed (see below) as well as those who continue to see this project evolve. It is our goal that this document will provide a detailed technical pathway for manufacturers to build secure devices for an increasingly insecure world. This is considered a "living" document as it is open to feedback and further collaboration, please contact the project leaders with any feedback you may have.
