Automotive

Today vehicles are to a large extent, a function of their on-board electronics, embedded electronic control units (ECUs) and advanced infotainment systems. These systems control vital elements within the vehicle, define the car’s performance, its safety features and control panels. Modern vehicles will soon be equipped with communication technology to facilitate car-to-car/car-to-road/road-to-car communication.

These critical vehicle control systems, applications, software and hardware assets systems rely heavily on robust, high-performance embedded security for a number of important use cases, including;

• Ensuring only original parts are used in aftermarket
• Restricting access to logging and diagnostics data
• Protecting software updates and platform code integrity verification
• Preventing mileage manipulation
• Enabling secure communications and secure information logging
• Digital Rights Management
Other use cases include anti-cloning and multi-ECU trust scheme.
