Webassembly as Managed Runtime VM in Embedded Systems - Stefan Wallentowitz

Webassembly as Managed Runtime VM in Embedded Systems - Stefan Wallentowitz, Munich University of Applied Sciences Managed VMs execute application bytecode with strong isolation properties. Smart cards are powered by such managed VMs and browsers have pushed this topic over the last couple of years. Webassembly has become predominant in this field and attracts further use cases. In this talk, Stefan discusses why Webassembly is an interesting technology for embedded systems and current developments. He will drive in security properties and building multi-device trusted systems around the webassembly ecosystem. The talk concludes with an insight about potential RISC-V extensions that could benefit webassembly in embedded systems.
