Abstract: Design space exploration (DSE) is a key activity in any embedded system design flow during which, decisions on architectural choices are made and their impacts on the overall performance are analysed and judged. As security emerges as a major design concern, DSE should be aware of the security aspect. By this literature review, we hope to study, analyse and add new knowledge on the topic. Our review showed that there is a lack of standard security metrics and expressive models to represent attackers' capabilities, security requirements and mechanisms. The review also revealed a big pitfall regarding the application of formal techniques, security standards adoption and adaptivity support. The presented review ends by proposing some potential promising future trends that can be investigated by researchers to pursue the research in related topics.
