In this course you will learn how to secure your embedded system. You will learn how to protect your program from malicious user input. You will also understand the use of hypervisors and virtualization of the system, and discover controls and tools for embedded security. You will also have hands-on exercises with topics such as memory protection unit (MPU) and secure boot.
