Security requirements for embedded devices a security solution for embedded devices must ensure the device firmware has not been tampered with secure the data stored by the device secure communication and protect the device from cyber attacks this can only be achieved by including security in the early stages of design. Although security is prevalent in pcs wireless communications and other systems today it is expected to become increasingly important and widespread in many embedded devices for some time typical embedded system designers have been dealing with tremendous challenges in performance power price and reliability. Security of embedded systems is often ignored during the design and development period of the product thus leaving many devices vulnerable to attacks the growing number of embedded systems today. This article aims to offers some insights and predictions about how legislation and technology will impact security in connected devices also often referred to internet of things iot devices for the complete lifecycle of product development from design to delivery and beyond in 2021 currently security is primarily implemented only in high end next generation expensive chips designed
