The present paper is concerned with the secure delivery of firmware updates to Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Additionally, it deals with the design of a safe and secure bootloader for a UHF RFID reader. A software implementation of a secure firmware update solution is performed. The results show there is space to integrate even more security features into existing devices.
