Abstract

In recent years, security, power consumption, and performance have become the important issues in embedded SoCs' design. With the growing number of embedded devices for automotive electronic and electric vehicles, real-time systems, robotics, artificial intelligence, smart technologies, or telecommunication, it is highly likely that these systems will be exposed to attacks or threats. Therefore, it is not easy to implement the security measure of such devices, and it becomes challenging while considering the performance and power issues due to limited available computing resources and often operating on batteries. In this paper, we survey the weaknesses of the embedded SoCs and examine the attacks, power consumption, and performance more closely with the main focus on Physical and Side-Channel attacks, which have not been surveyed previously. Along with the current trends and challenges, upcoming trends and challenges are also elaborated. This paper is intended to help the researchers and system designers in gaining deep insight into designing secure, power-efficient, and high-performance embedded SoCs in the future.
