Abstract: The aim of this chapter is to give a thorough overview of secure remote reconfiguration technologies for
wireless embedded systems, and of the communication standard commonly used in those systems. In
particular, we focus on basic security mechanisms both at hardware and protocol level. We will discuss
the possible threats and their corresponding impact level. Different countermeasures for avoiding these
security issues are explained. Finally, we present a complete and compact solution for a service-oriented
architecture enabling secure remote reconfiguration of wireless embedded systems, called the STRES
system.
