Robots have gained relevance in society, increasingly performing critical\ntasks. Nonetheless, robot security is being underestimated. Robotics security\nis a complex landscape, which often requires a cross-disciplinar perspective to\nwhich classical security lags behind. To address this issue, we present the\nRobot Security Framework (RSF), a methodology to perform systematic security\nassessments in robots. We propose, adapt and develop specific terminology and\nprovide guidelines to enable a holistic security assessment following four main\nlayers (Physical, Network, Firmware and Application). We argue that modern\nrobotics should regard as equally relevant internal and external communication\nsecurity. Finally, we advocate against "security by obscurity". We conclude\nthat the field of security in robotics deserves further research efforts.\n
