Technical Summary
Vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) devices have raised the
need for a reliable and secure firmware update mechanism suitable for
devices with resource constraints. Incorporating such an update
mechanism is a fundamental requirement for fixing vulnerabilities but
it also enables other important capabilities such as updating
configuration settings as well as adding new functionality.
