With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), the importance of communication and security is growing, as the connection between embedded platforms becomes common. The model-based software development methodology, one of the methods of developing embedded software, is effective for software development on different platforms, by automatically generating code suitable for the platform from a platform-independent model. This is useful in distributed embedded systems by also generating remote communication code, but there are no studies on automatic secure communication code generation. In this paper, we propose a method for automatically applying security on communication, in a model-based software development framework. The efficiency and validity of the proposed method were verified through the implementation of examples, that require communication between different platforms with various encryption methods.
