Key takeaways

Key takeaways

The evolution of automotive E/E architectures has seen a significant shift from standalone and distributed ECUs to interconnected networks, driven by the integration of advanced driver assistance systems, infotainment, and autonomous driving technologies. Ensuring the security of these architectures is crucial for protecting sensitive data and ensuring the safety and reliability of vehicles, particularly as moving towards autonomous driving vehicles.

To address these challenges, security standards such as ISO 21434 have been developed to guide cybersecurity throughout the vehicle lifecycle. Over-the-air software updates, essential for maintaining software integrity and security, are a key security use case. Additionally, evolving cyber-attack scenarios necessitate protection of access rights and integrity and authenticity of sensor data.

Overall, the evolving landscape of automotive E/E architectures demands a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity that addresses both software and hardware security, aligning with industry standards and regulations. In this webinar you will find out how to build a secure and scalable infrastructure for these circumstances.

The grown complexity of the modern automotives bear an increased risk for cybersecurity attacks with potential for threatening safety, financial aspects, operation, and privacy. An illustrative overview on various attacks, on rating of the risks and strategies for countermeasures will be given within this talk.

Software updates enhance the ability to provide value throughout the vehicle's entire life cycle. Emerging use cases and business models are now leveraging Over-the-Air (OTA) updates for e.g. new feature enablement, ADAS Software updates, predictive maintenance and more. To enable this, the infrastructure and the vehicle must support secure data transactions and demonstrate scalability and dependability. With more OEMs embracing software-defined vehicle architecture, OTA updates have become the most practical and cost-effective solution.

The crucial aspect in all of this is to prioritize security as a critical design criterion for OTA implementation. It is essential to avoid solely meeting current OEM RFQs and instead ensure that the implementation can meet emerging standards requirements.

Within this webinar you will get the answer to all of the following questions:

  • what are the OTA architectures/topologies?
  • what are the relevant standards to consider?
  • how to ensure the implementation is scalable?
  • how to ensure faster time to market in a resource constraint environment?
  • how to  minimize certification challenges?

The automotive industry is evolving, incorporating new technologies that enhance safety and convenience in our lives without compromising on security. One such technology, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), is revolutionizing human-vehicle interaction by delivering precise localization information and robust security capabilities. Operating in a wide spectrum in the GHz range UWB utilizes ToF (Time of Flight) and Impulse Radio technology to enable vehicles to accurately (cm) detect the proximity of a user's device, such as a smartphone or key fob, to automatically unlock or lock the doors.
Furthermore UWB incorporates security features such as STS (scrambled time stamp) and is supported by a Secure Element (SE) to store cryptographic keys and manage secure communication.

In the webinar, you’ll get an overview of this and many more uses cases

  • In-Cabin monitoring with UWB RF Sensing
  • Intrusion detection
  • Car park navigation and In-Car Payment
  • Enhance in-car connectivity to improve user experience

Join this webinar and discover how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can revolutionize your approach to automotive cybersecurity.

The automotive industry is rapidly evolving towards connected and autonomous vehicles. While these advancements offer incredible benefits, they also introduce new cybersecurity challenges. Hackers are constantly innovating, and traditional security methods may struggle to keep pace.

This webinar will equip you with the knowledge to address these challenges head-on. Here's what you'll gain:

  • Understand the evolving threat landscape in automotive cybersecurity.
  • Explore how AI can be leveraged for proactive threat detection and prevention.
  • Discover real-world applications of AI for intrusion detection, anomaly analysis, and vulnerability management.
  • Learn best practices for integrating AI into your existing cybersecurity infrastructure.
  • Gain insights into the future of AI-powered automotive security.

The ongoing development of quantum computers threatens current-day cryptography and thus undermines the very foundation of modern security mechanisms. For this reason, there are substantial global efforts to develop and swiftly transition to quantum-secure alternatives in the immediate future.

After introducing the basics behind so-called “Post-Quantum Cryptography”, this webinar addresses the many challenges that come with this paradigm shift. From the identification of vulnerable components to securely integrating the very first standardized quantum-secure cryptographic algorithms and adapting communication protocols, this change affects a large number of system layers, each requiring its own set of considerations. The webinar also sketches the way towards a successful migration, including potential first steps, considerations regarding simultaneous use of classic and post-quantum cryptography (hybrid cryptography), and methods enabling the upcoming and potential further cryptographic changes in a more streamlined manner (cryptographic agility).

The UNECE regulations on Cybersecurity (R155 for Cybersecurity management systems & R156 for software update management systems) mandates OEMs to obtain type approval certificate to achieve access to markets.

Suppliers need to comply to regulations of ISO21434 to help OEMs meet criteria of R155 and R156.

In this webinar we present, how Infineon’s ISO21434 compliance roadmap helps in supporting customers for achieving their regulation requirements through:

  • Process compliance for Cybersecurity management systems (CSMS) including Cybersecurity maintenance for legacy and current products.
  • Product compliance coverage for legacy and current products
