Riassunto

Post-Quantum Cybersecurity for Embedded Systems
Engineering Quantum-Resilient Firmware, IoT Devices, RTOS Platforms, and Edge Infrastructure

Quantum computing is no longer a theoretical curiosity—it is rapidly becoming a cybersecurity reality.

As quantum-capable attacks threaten RSA, ECC, and traditional public-key infrastructure, embedded systems face a uniquely dangerous challenge: long device lifecycles, constrained hardware, remote deployment environments, and massive firmware attack surfaces.

This groundbreaking engineering-focused book provides a complete practical roadmap for designing, securing, deploying, and migrating embedded systems into the post-quantum era.

Unlike traditional cryptography books that focus primarily on theory, this book bridges the critical gap between:

• post-quantum cryptography (PQC),

• embedded firmware engineering,

• RTOS security,

• IoT architectures,

• hardware root of trust,

• secure boot,

• OTA firmware protection,

• edge computing,

• and real-world industrial deployment.

Written for embedded engineers, cybersecurity professionals, IoT architects, firmware developers, aerospace and defense engineers, automotive system designers, industrial automation specialists, and advanced engineering students, this book delivers deep technical insight combined with modern deployment-oriented engineering practices.

Inside the Book You Will Learn:

Why embedded systems are uniquely vulnerable to quantum-era attacks
How NIST post-quantum cryptography standards impact embedded devices
How to implement CRYSTALS-Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+, and FALCON in constrained hardware
Secure boot and hardware root-of-trust architectures for quantum-safe systems
Post-quantum security integration for FreeRTOS, Zephyr RTOS, and Embedded Linux
Lightweight PQC for IoT and low-power edge devices
Secure firmware OTA pipelines and anti-rollback protection
