Cloud connected gateway to prevent cyber attack in networked cars

The cyber attacks to car is highly possible if your car has a internal network which connects to external wired and wireless networks and devices. To prevent cyber attacks on the vehicles and the embedded automotive electronics systems, companies Infineon and Argus have joined hands to come out with the intrusion detection and prevention systems using cloud platform. The central part of the system is a cyber security gateway which protects the vehicle’s internal network from cyber attacks. The central gateway connects all electronic control units (ECU) of in-vehicle domains such as those used in the power train, driver assistance, chassis and, body and convenience control. The central gateway routes and controls the complete data communication between the ECUs. Additionally, it is the central access point for software updates over the air (SOTA) so that any updates from either of the vendors can be updated to the system over the air without connecting the device physically to the system just for the sake of update. This new sys also supports maintenance and diagnosis of systems. The semiconductor devices used in this device are AURIX microcontrollers from Infineon. They process and handle security tasks. AURIX microcontrollers support security protocols and feature Hardware Security Module (HSM) to protect in-vehicle software and data communication supporting high securit...
