Abstract
With the increase in threats to IoT devices, interest in protecting sensitive data within such devices has intensified. For devices holding sensitive data and intellectual property software, such as military equipment, leakage of the confidential data contained within the device can cause catastrophic damage. Therefore, it is important to prevent such leakage of sensitive data. In this paper, we propose a method for reducing data leakage from military devices by minimizing the quantity of data that exist within the non-volatile memory of the device. To achieve minimization of the data loaded in non-volatile memory, we run the software in a streaming manner. However, as the execution of software over a network can result in suspension of the software depending on the state of the network, this approach can have a critical impact on system stability. Therefore, we also present a scheme to apply multi-channel communication to reduce software suspensions caused by network delays when the software is run in a streaming manner for the purpose of mitigating damage to the data leakage.
