Real-time security for robotics

Security is not a product, it's a process. It needs to be continously and periodically assessed. Alias' mission is to remove 0-days from robotics. This article discusses some of the threats that apply to real-time systems and how to secure them.

Threat Model

Threat modeling a ROS 2 robot

In the context of robotics, a threat model identifies threats that apply to the robot and/or its components (both software and hardware) while providing means to address or mitigate them. We present the threat model of a ROS 2 robot.
