Security Challenges in Real-Time Operating Systems

Introduction to RTOS and Its Security Context A Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is designed to manage hardware resources and execute tasks within strict timing constraints, often measured in microseconds or milliseconds. Unlike general-purpose operating systems (GPOS) such as Windows or Linux, an RTOS prioritizes predictability, determinism, and low latency over throughput or user interactivity. These
