abstract = "Input/Output is the mechanisms through which embedded systems interact and control the outside world. Particularly when employed in mission critical systems, the I/O of embedded systems has to be both reliable and secure. Embedded system{\textquoteright}s I/O is controlled by a pin based approach. In this paper, we investigate the security implications of embedded system{\textquoteright}s pin control. In particular, we show how an attacker can tamper with the integrity and availability of an embedded system{\textquoteright}s I/O by exploiting cerain pin control operations and the lack of hardware interrupts associated to them.",
