Dependable and Secure Embedded Node Demonstrator

Abstract

The European industry competitiveness in the embedded devices market is threatened by challenges such as cost-effectiveness, interoperability, reliability, and re-usability. This is particularly important now, when the value of embedded electronics components share in the final products is increasing, especially in ICT and health/medical equipment domains.
To address these challenges, the pSHIELD project, co-funded by ARTEMIS JU, was aimed at developing an architecture framework supporting security, privacy and dependability (SPD) as built-in features in a network of embedded nodes. That approach will provide industry with the key improvements such as a faster design, standardized development of SPD solutions and a flexible way to reuse already verified embedded systems.
This paper reports the architecture of an FPGA-based intrusion detection embedded device for a freight train, built to validate the pSHIELD concept at a node level. The use case demonstrates the legacy components integration, dependability, security, self-reconfiguration and the node-level composability.
