A discussion of security hardening options for OpenEmbedded / Yocto Project.
With the steady increase of Internet usage and access for embedded systems and the "Internet of Things", embedded device security is more important now than ever. This talk will walk through some of the available options in core OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project poky reference distribution for security hardening, then move on to what security features and tools are available in other metadata layers. Note that this talk is an updated version of one previously presented at Yocto Project Developer Day Virtual 2020.
