| Abstract | The future trend of high performance computing devices is in these years showing to be a progressive displacement in everyday and every kind of equipment. Technology advances are producing smaller and more power aware devices able to be embedded in the most unusual everyday object. In this context, usually referred as ``pervasive computing'', system will need to provide intelligent handling of unpredictable situations and context awareness: devices should become aware of the user needs and of the working environment and react properly in order to satisfy these needs. Moreover all this systems will be interconnected by multiple networks of different kinds: efficient communication infrastructure will be needed and security will be a major issue. Self-adaptation is the possibility that a system adapt itself dynamically to fulfill different requirements on a changing environment. Following this concepts, computing systems designed using self-adaptive reconfigurable hardware and software are now used in many sensitive applications, where security is of utmost importance. Unfortunately, a strong notion of security is not currently present in self-adaptive reconfigurable embedded systems hardware and software design flows. In the following, we discuss the security implications of using self-adaptive reconfigurable systems in sensitive applications, and outline problems, attacks, state of the art solutions and topics for future research, focusing on security in the communication systems. Moreover possible protection mechanisms are discussed in the proposed solution. |
