STMicroelectronics Joins Forces with Automotive Software Experts ETAS and ESCRYPT to Streamline Development of Secure Connected-Car Applications
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Combined competencies to offer a unique package for developing high-
performance, safe, and secure automotive-embedded systems
* End-to-end solution protects against malicious attacks on the car's
Electronic Control Units (ECU) and secures communication among ECUs and the
cloud
* Easy-to-use AUTOSAR-compliant platform software addresses key time-to-market
and standards-compliance challenges facing OEM and Tier-1 application
developers
Geneva, Stuttgart, and Bochum, June 13, 2016 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a
global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, announced its collaboration with ETAS, a provider of innovative
solutions for developing automotive embedded systems, and ESCRYPT, an ETAS
subsidiary focused on security for embedded software, to deliver a complete
platform comprising microcontrollers, software tools, and security solutions
that accelerates development of new automotive control units for the connected-
car age.
Today's auto designers rely more and more on electronic control units (ECUs) to
manage intricately featured applications, including brake-by-wire, automatic
transmission, multi-mode lighting, parking assist, collision avoidance and many
others. These ECUs are enabling "digital" control of each function of the car
through sending commands over the communication network that interconnects the
vehicle sub-systems. Moreover, more cars are becoming connected to the cloud
enabling new functionalities like Over-The-Air (OTA) software updates, remote
diagnostics, and the forthcoming V2X communication[1].
To safely support such trends, there is an acceleration in the deployment of
robust hardware and software security platforms that are managed over the entire
vehicle lifetime.
ST is working with ETAS and ESCRYPT to deliver a cost-effective platform for
sub-system developers to create ECUs that ensure a high level of protection for
vehicle-owners' privacy, OEMs' intellectual property, ECU functional integrity,
and secure communication among the car's ECUs and the cloud.
"This well-architected and easy-to-use development platform will deliver
unprecedented convenience to customers in the form of a ready-made solution that
combines the security know-how of ESCRYPT, ETAS, and ST," said Luca Rodeschini,
Director Strategic Business Development and Microcontroller Business Unit,
Automotive and Discrete Product Group, STMicroelectronics.
The solution ST is developing with ETAS and ESCRYPT leverages the SPC58 series
of power-efficient and real-time-capable automotive microcontrollers, which
feature a built-in Hardware Security Module (HSM) as well as multiple state-of-
the-art CAN FD interfaces, plus LIN, FlexRay, and Ethernet with time-stamping to
implement both control units with a functional integrity check and an in-vehicle
network with encrypted communication. This approach expands ST's offering for
connected-car defense, which also includes Secure Elements, or embedded SIMs
(Subscriber Identity Modules), for protection against Internet-based attacks on
ECUs and gateways that can steal personal data or compromise important vehicle
systems.
"SPC58 automotive microcontrollers deliver the underlying ruggedness and
hardware security the industry needs at a competitive price. They have already
been selected by a major Tier-1 supplier for a secure OTA (Over-The-Air)
application that enables remote software fixes and upgrades without requiring
customers to bring their vehicles to a repair garage," added Rodeschini.
ESCRYPT is contributing its expertise in secure ECU communication, including
distribution of OTA software updates, and provides firmware and middleware for
ECU developers to utilize the SPC58 HSM. Together, the HSM and ESCRYPT's
security technologies handle all the necessary authentication of trusted sources
and prevention of access by unauthorized agents. "We provide our product
CycurHSM, the essential solution that exercises the HSM and our Key Management
Solution to secure every aspect of the ECU's activity, including secure boot-up,
programming, and updates, as well as secure in-vehicle communication," explained
Dr. Thomas Wollinger, Managing Director of ESCRYPT.
The solution leverages ETAS' proven RTA software products that support ECU code
development. RTA-BSW (Basic Software) consists of a full AUTOSAR solution
including AUTOSAR R4-compliant basic software capable of supporting safety-
critical ECUs for both passenger cars (ISO 26262) and off-highway (ISO 25119)
domains. RTA-BSW is complemented by ISOLAR-A and ISOLAR-EVE tools for authoring
and testing a full ECU software stack in a virtual environment.
AUTOSAR, the AUTomotive Open Systems Architecture, is the accepted automotive
industry framework for scalable, interoperable, standards-compliant embedded
systems, which enables developers to bring new products to market quickly and
cost-effectively while allowing scope to create differentiating features.
"We are building on a proven record of successful collaborations with ST," said
Dr. Nigel Tracey, leader of the ETAS Application Field RTA Solutions. "With our
comprehensive ECU development environment, and the added dimension of advanced
security from our subsidiary ESCRYPT, this new platform will enable OEMs to
maximize the value of the connected-car concept and quickly build confidence
among partner organizations and end users."
