Embedded devices are gaining impressive significance in the world of IT security, as much for their excellent functionality as for their increased presence in homes and in the business world. These electronic components are not new gadgets. In everything from Coke machines to traffic lights, you can find some degree of internal software, which permits the functionality required of these machines, and said software can be more easily re-programmed than hardware.

In recent years, the processing and storage capacity in these devices has experienced considerable growth, permitting them to execute more complex software. This growth has been such that today's mobile phones can have operating systems installed that permit executing all types of applications.

An embedded system consists of a programmable electronic system that is specially designed to provide specific solutions. Some examples of how this technology is applied include:

• Fixed and mobile telephony; a mobile telephone terminal for example
• Components used to automate production processes
• Industrial equipment and instrumentation
• All kinds of home appliances such as microwaves, washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers, etc.
• Broad application in the toy and recreation industries
• Peripheral systems for PCs
