Processes, Methods, and Tools for Cyber-Security-Aware Automotive Embedded Systems

This session of the SAE 2012 World Congress focuses on processes, methods, and tools for the design, analysis, and synthesis of cyber secure automotive embedded systems. The analysis aspect shall cover (but not be restricted to) static code analysis methods and tools for analyzing the vulnerabilities of embedded software (application and platform) prior to their deployment on the target HW. In addition, the analysis aspect shall cover analyses of vulnerabilities in currently (CAN) and future (Flexray, Ethernet, DSRC) automotive communication protocols for inter and intra-vehicle communications. The synthesis aspect shall cover (but not restricted to) methods, and synthesis tools that create secure-by-construction communication mechanisms between embedded software tasks (intra and inter-ECU and between vehicles). Finally, this session shall also focus on the definition of embedded software and system development processes that include qualitative and quantitative security metrics in addition to safety and other key metrics for the development of automotive embedded systems
