Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) and IBM are teaming up to work on a new connected vehicle security solution with the intent to make car hacks much more difficult in the future. The new crypto chip and key solution was showcased first at IAA International Automobile Fair in Frankfurt, Sept. 17-27, 2015.
“With dozens of ECUs (electronic control units) and several in-vehicle bus systems as well as various wireless connections to the external world of a connected vehicle, it is vital to protect those systems in the best possible way against remote hacks, fraudulent attacks and any attempts that could affect traffic safety,” said Erich Nickel, director of Automotive Solutions CoC DACH at IBM.
Security infrastructures are required within the vehicle and from the vehicle to the backend infrastructures. The technology partners demonstrated a Secure Gateway ECU to enable a more secure communication within the vehicle and to the backend.
