arXiv:2511.14088v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Run-time integrity enforcement in real-time systems presents a fundamental conflict with availability. Existing approaches in real-time systems primarily focus on minimizing the execution-time overhead of monitoring. After a violation is detected, prior works face a trade-off: (1) prioritize availability and allow a compromised system to continue to ensure applications meet their deadlines, or (2) prioritize security by generating a fault to a
Editorial Analysis
Enterprises operating safety-critical real-time systems must balance integrity monitoring with availability guarantees — this work offers a principled framework for that trade-off.
