The objective of TERESA is to define, demonstrate and validate an engineering discipline for
trust that is adapted to resource constrained embedded systems. We define trust as the degree
with which security and dependability requirements are met. Resource constrained embedded
systems are characterized as follows: • They belong to different application sectors • Computing
resource are mostly statically determined and allocated through a process consisting of a
configuration phase and a build phase • They are generally high integrity systems with strong
assurance requirements. They therefore use advanced engineering disciplines. The proposed
approach is to use a model-based repository of security and dependability patterns
