Description

If the firmware/software update is not encrypted at rest in storage it can be reverse engineered to identify potential vulnerabilities or extract other information needed to protect devices (e.g., passwords, cryptographic keys). Firmware/software updates can often be directly downloaded from the Internet and reverse engineered, however, firmware/software updates that are unencrypted in transit may also be intercepted and analyzed over-the-wire.
