Understanding Embedded System Security: How Secure Is Secure Enough?

Understanding Embedded System Security: How Secure Is Secure Enough?

Today, embedded systems often handle sensitive information such as application code (IP) and data, making security a major concern in their design. To establish a reasonable foundation for judging whether the proposed security system is sufficient to fend off attackers or is overly defensive, it is necessary to identify the perceived security threats. This means … Read more

C-Reactive Protein: A Sensitive Marker of Inflammation

C-Reactive Protein: A Sensitive Marker of Inflammation

C-Reactive Protein C-Reactive Protein (CRP), discovered by Tillett and Francis in 1930, is a pentameric protein synthesized by the liver. During acute inflammation or infection, CRP levels rise significantly, primarily induced by interleukin-6 (IL-6), playing an important regulatory role in the acute phase of inflammation/infection processes. The CRP level in healthy individuals is usually very … Read more
