VI. Secure Provisioning: The Typical Workflow

SECURITY IN AUTOMOTIVE & THE INTERNET OF THINGS

Why is it important?

Traditional Connected Devices

In the typical Wintel or mobile phone environment where most of our internet connectivity has existed, there is today a considerable overhead of code and memory devoted to securing the applications. This results in an acceptably high threshold for hackers to surmount to compromise these devices.

End-to-End Security

Chip and technology makers such as ARM are focused on security and are working to integrate new security features into the next generation of microcontrollers using their Trustzone platform and Cryptocell technologies.

These features allow customers to embed unique keys that can be programmed into their chips and used to identify users accessing the chip to determine the users’ validity.

EPS is working to develop a portfolio of programming services in the area of security to allow our customers to take full advantage of these new features.

Automotive & IoT

In automotive electronics, many of the chips and operating systems used are smaller and do not carry the same memory or security overhead. Thanks to the IoT however, they are beginning to share some of the same connectivity. This results in a concern that key systems may be too easily compromised by hackers.
