Protect your car network with Microchip's automotive safety development kit

The large number of modern conveniences such as infotainment and advanced driver assistance systems in the car have significantly improved the daily travel experience. However, at the same time, the addition of these facilities to facilitate consumers has also given hackers a chance, hackers Repeated use of these vulnerabilities poses a security threat to the system. This problem may and in the automotive industry has caused problems such as vehicle recalls, lost revenue and damaged brand image. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers face The question is no longer whether the car network needs security measures, but how to implement security measures in practice without incurring high costs due to the complete modification of the design.

Microchip Technology's new CryptoAutomotiveTM Automotive Network (IVN) Trust Anchor/Boundary Security Device (TA/BSD) development kit enables OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to implement secure protection for connected car systems, starting with the most important areas The highest level of protection is deployed in every location of the automotive network. The CryptoAutomotive TA/BSD Development Kit is the industry's only safety-critical vehicle tool that provides system designers with security measures by simulating safety nodes in the automotive network. Intuitively started. This tool allows manufacturers to flexibly configure security nodes according to various specifications and industry standards, covering almost all security measures. The tool can implement secure key storage, electronic control unit (ECU) authentication, hardware encryption. Accelerators and other cryptographic elements. When used with a host microcontroller, enable designers to implement features such as Secure Boot and Controller Area Network (CAN) message authentication, including the conversion of CAN 2.0 messages via additional message authentication code (MAC) where appropriate For variable rate CAN data (CAN-FD).

Microchip offers a full range of automotive safety guarantees. By working together, the TA/BSD Simulation Toolkit allows OEMs to continue to use existing microcontrollers (MCUs) and subsequently add companion chips for TA/BSD toolkit emulation to take advantage of safety standards Certified existing MCU firmware. These companion chips will be pre-programmed with built-in security measures and then delivered to the customer for true hardware key protection. This is added later than with a high-end secure MCU redesign system. The method can bring great cost advantages and time-to-market advantages. The use of high-end secure MCUs means that the MCU's firmware architecture needs to be significantly adjusted to implement security measures through hardware and software.

The TA/BSD toolkit can be used with any ECU, architecture, configuration or bus to flexibly implement security measures in existing systems, avoiding large-scale redesigns. The companion chip solution minimizes MCU code updates, so almost It does not affect the functional safety rating of existing host MCUs. This approach also eliminates the need for internal security expertise. The tool provides an online graphical user interface (GUI) program with pre-configured options to simplify and facilitate implementation.
