Cybersecurity Risks Of Automotive OTA
By John Koon - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Modern vehicles increasingly resemble supercomputers on wheels, with many electronic control units (ECUs) networked together as increasingly sophisticated software is installed and updated. Similar to smartphones, vehicle OEMs will contact vehicle owners remotely about operating system updates that add new features and/or fixes, as well as software bugs and vulnerabilities. But all of this h... » read more

Hardware Trojan Inserted Inside A RISC-V Based Automotive Telematics Control Unit
By Technical Paper Link - 21 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "On the Feasibility of Remotely Triggered Automotive Hardware Trojans" was written by researchers at Georgia Tech. "In this paper, we discuss how Hardware Trojans can act as the physical access intermediates to allow the remote triggering of malicious payloads embedded in ECUs, through seemingly benign wireless communication. We demonstrate a proof of concept ECU... » read more

Auto Safety Tech Adds New IC Design Challenges
By John Koon - 06 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 1

The role of AI/ML in automobiles is widening as chipmakers incorporate more intelligence into chips used in vehicles, setting the stage for much safer vehicles, fewer accidents, but much more complex electronic systems. While full autonomy is still on the distant horizon, the short-term focus involves making sure drivers are aware of what's going on around them — pedestrians, objects, or o... » read more

Reducing Security Vulnerabilities In Connected Cars And Factories With Secured Flash
By Infineon - 05 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Analysts estimate that more than half of all cars sold in the U.S. this year will come with internet connectivity(1), and Gartner believes more than 750,000 cars with autonomous driving capabilities will roll off manufacturing lines by 2023(2). As more vehicles become connected and go autonomous, the possibility of bad actors taking control of cars on the road is very real, and likely to become... » read more

Evaluation of Automotive HW Trust Anchors Regarding Their Feasibility In Vehicle Architectures
By Technical Paper Link - 07 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Analysis and Evaluation of Hardware Trust Anchors in the Automotive Domain" was published by researchers at Fraunhofer Institute SIT and CARIAD. Abstract "Automotive architectures get increasingly more complex both regarding internal as well as external connections to offer new services like autonomous driving. This development further broadens the cyberattack ... » read more

Vehicle Security: Post-Quantum Security to the CAN Network
By Technical Paper Link - 09 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

This new technical paper titled "PUF-Based Post-Quantum CAN-FD Framework for Vehicular Security" is published by researchers at University of Tennessee. Abstract "The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a bus protocol widely used in Electronic control Units (ECUs) to communicate between various subsystems in vehicles. Insecure CAN networks can allow attackers to control information between vit... » read more

Making More Reliable And More Efficient Auto ICs
By Ed Sperling - 05 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Sam Geha, executive vice president of memory solutions at Infineon Technologies, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about automotive chips, supply chain issues, and integration challenges. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: How do you build an automotive chip that will work in any environment? Geha: The automotive market is, of course, one of the most demand... » read more

Fuzz Testing Software-Defined Vehicles Using Agent Instrumentation
By Synopsys - 23 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Cybersecurity has become intertwined into each step of the automotive development process. In particular, fuzz testing has proven to be a powerful approach to detect unknown vulnerabilities in automotive systems. But with limited instrumentation, especially on software-heavy systems such as high-performance computers (HPCs), several types of issues go undetected, including memory leaks and case... » read more

Big Changes Ahead For Connected Vehicles
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Carmakers are reworking their electronic architectures so they can tap into a growing number of external services and internal options, similar to the way a data center taps into various services over its internal network. In the past, this has been largely confined to internal services such as on-board Internet connectivity, and external traffic routing and music. The current vision is to g... » read more

Security Concerns Rise For Connected Autos
By John Koon - 29 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

The auto industry is transforming itself toward a future in which the automobile increasingly will be connected using V2X and 5G. Driver assistance will improve, and ultimately cars will be guided by AI and machine learning. But all of this will be closely watched by hackers, looking for an opening and a potentially large and untraceable payout. The replacement of mechanical functionality wi... » read more
