Secure IoT Firmware

Practical Encryption & OTA for Real Devices​

This course focuses on real-world embedded security, not theory-only cryptography.

You will learn how to:

  • Think like an attacker
  • Design secure firmware architectures
  • Make correct encryption choices for constrained devices
  • Build a secure OTA update pipeline

This course assumes familiarity with embedded C/C++ and microcontroller-based systems.
