Allan has been asked to explain the security implications for an embedded system that his company is considering building and selling. Which of the following answers is NOT a typical concern for embedded systems?

Embedded systems can bring a wide range of security implications, many of which are driven by the limited capabilities of the processors and hardware they are commonly built with. Low-power consumption designs may lack computational power and thus have challenges implementing strong cryptography, network connectivity, and other similar problems. Patching embedded systems can be challenging both due to where they are deployed and due to a lack of connectivity for them, in fact, in many environments, you might not want the devices to be connected to your network. As many don’t have a screen, keyboard, or a network connection, authentication is also a problem. Few embedded devices, however, need bulk storage, making the lack of bulk storage a concern that typically isn’t a main problem.
