Modern Automotive Cybersecurity Through Secure Communication, Strong Authentication and Flexible Firewalls

Continuous security threats on connected automobiles have exposed critical system vulnerabilities. To address these risks, regulatory agencies are now defining cybersecurity requirements by writing new legislation and holding carmakers and their supply chain liable for security and safety breaches.

To adequately address current and future security issues, this white paper discusses a multi-layered approach to connected vehicle security and explains how this security architecture can protect vehicle entry points as well as in-vehicle networks from threats. Several security strategies such as embedded firewalls, authentication, secure communications, encryption and digital certificates will be discussed.
