Applying Security Concepts to Continuous Integration for the Purpose of Testing Embedded Systems

Inhalt:
Security concepts applied to Continuous Integration (CI) environment represent a strong point against the cybercrime because they allow quickly revealing and fixing vulnerabilities. Although it's shared to be aware of the importance of the integration of security concepts in a CI environment, currently there are no specific solutions that combine security practices with CI for embedded systems. In this study, we present an overview concerning how to apply security principles to a CI environment with already existing tools and the importance to extend these concepts to embedded systems also. The contribution of this paper is to introduce the idea of securing the CI process for the purpose of testing embedded systems.
