Hardware security

IFDR10 has been hardened against unprivileged access and execution of malicious software in the device. Firmware integrity is verified in all stages of code execution by checking the firmware signatures before execution. This permits only official signed firmware by the device manufacturer to execute.

Any attempt to use modified firmware in the IFDR10 will lead to a signature verification failure, making the IFDR10 hardware unusable. IFDR10 does not contain any predefined login credentials or passwords, which prevents any unauthorized access into the embedded Linux operating system running the device. The only access into the IFDR10 settings and configuration are via the interfaces Vaisala provides.
