Abstract

Embedded system security is often overlooked because of system performance. As embedded system market grows, exploits like malicious mobile codes and intrusions to embedded system increase. Especially if embedded systems like for government and military are exploited, that is critical in national security. To advance ubiquitous computing deployment, we need to solve these security issues. We propose user-identification and access-control that are light-weighted using kernel-level security technique that is made safer and higher-performed than user-level.
