Automotive security

A holistic view on automotive security with best-practices for hardware and software in modern automotive systems

Few things stir the automotive world to such strong emotion as the prospect of selfdriving vehicles. Where some see enormous gains in comfort, convenience, and safety, others are concerned about automotive autonomy and hackers attacking their vehicles. Yet the need for effective embedded security in vehicles was on the rise before the advent of the automated vehicle. Today's vehicles already need protection against odometer manipulation, unwanted access to vehicle electronics, and many other threats.

This security training provides special IT security knowledge for the automotive industry. In doing so, we follow a holistic approach that leads from secure ECU design to secure on-board networking and secure connected vehicles. Practical exercises and examples complement the discussed contents.
