Even though encryption would be a part of firmware security, attackers can often sniff the data being passed between two different hardware components. To ensure that none of your sensitive information is getting into the hands of attackers, make sure that you are encrypting data that is in transit as well as at rest.
One of the other things to consider when talking about encryption in embedded devices is the amount of resources it would take to perform a certain encryption function.
Since the devices are low on resources, performing extremely strong crypto wouldn't be feasible-thus, a good balance between encryption and usability should be thought about ahead of time and implemented in the hardware. ...
