By Ricardo Salveti, Open Source Foundries

Software update is a critical and basic feature for any IoT product, but a traditional update system doesn’t protect the connected devices from the many different threats currently explored in the world of Internet of Things. This talk will introduce the software update frameworks TUF (The Update Framework) and Uptane (TUF extended for the automotive industry) and show how a traditional Linux Embedded product can be extended in order to create an update solution designed to protect against nation-state attacks.
