Overview

Cyber Protection for the Next-Generation of Vehicles

Modern vehicles offer a network of connected, asset-rich electronic control units (ECUs), which are exposed to a large and complex attack surface—one that has only gotten larger as the software-defined vehicle becomes a reality. Our focus remains on enabling highly robust system architectures and working with our ecosystem to ensure the delivery of standards and open-source software, as well as adherence to product security standards. Combined, these enable the automotive industry to establish trust, while helping to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of assets—all essential factors in enabling the success of software defined vehicles.

Use Cases

Security Considerations for Automotive ECUs

Securing V2X Communications

This involves protecting vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, so that data exchanged between vehicles and infrastructure is secure.

Securing V2X Communications

Secure Boot enabled by Secure Enclave

This helps ensure that the ECU boot and operating system software programs have not been tampered with and are the manufacturer's verified versions.

Protection of Communication Between Unsecure Objects

This involves securing the communication between various components within the vehicle, helping to ensure that data is not intercepted or tampered with.

Protection of Communication Between Unsecure Objects

Protecting Vital Vehicle Systems

This includes shielding critical systems, such as brakes and steering, from cyber intrusions for the safety of the driver, passengers, and pedestrians.
