Enhancing Cybersecurity for Automotive
Embedded Software
Altium has joined forces with ESCRYPT, a leading provider of IT
security solutions in embedded systems, to enhance automotive
cybersecurity.
For over 25 years, Altium TASKING has helped automotive software
engineers meet proportionately challenging standards, including
functional safety features and electric vehicle certification.
The union of TASKING and ESCRYPT gives automobile manufacturers
and suppliers an easy and cost-effective way to implement enhanced
security features from compiler to security software in accordance
with ISO 26262.
TASKING’s development environment easily supports the host-side
integration of ESCRYPT’s CycurHSM security software. ESCRYPT’s
CycurHSM is specifically targeted at microcontrollers with an
integrated, physically encapsulated hardware security module (HSM),
such as Infineon Tricore/Aurix, STMicroelectronics Chorus or
Renesas RH850.
The embedded security software ensures freedom from interference
up to ASIL-D in safety-critical systems and provides the necessary
API interfaces. CycurHSM is now qualified for the TASKING
toolchain, whose tools are optimized for safety-critical real-time
applications and support the same hardware platforms. This
simplifies the adaptation of IT security functions to the
individual requirements of the vehicle control unit and the E/E
architecture, and shortens turnaround times.
Automotive suppliers and OEMs can now use the TASKING
development environment to quickly and cost-effectively qualify
their systems to an ASIL-D safety concept. CycurHSM then performs
the necessary IT security functions in the microcontroller’s
hardware security module, such as data encryption and
authentication, secure booting, flashing and debugging or runtime
manipulation detection.
As Franz Maidl, Director of Global TASKING Business elaborates:
"The applications developed with our tools are intended to produce
control units and vehicle systems that are safe in every respect.
It is therefore a must to include the IT security functions
directly in the development process."
Raimund Stampa, Product Manager CycurHSM at ESCRYPT, adds: “For
many of our customers who work with TASKING development
environments, the seamless integration of IT security measures into
their systems will now become even easier by a considerable
margin."
