Posted by on
Automotive cybersecurity, a rapidly growing field with many exciting challenges, is crucial for enabling current and future connected vehicle features. This book, focusing on practical topics, aims to help address the industry's significant talent shortage in building secure automotive systems. It's a tool designed to give automotive engineers a competitive edge.
The book provides a comprehensive examination of both current and future automotive vehicle architectures, relevant threats, and the necessary skills to address them. It then delves into cybersecurity engineering methods, with a focus on complying with existing automotive standards while making the process advantageous.
The chapters are intended to assist you in understanding both the theory and practice of constructing secure systems, considering the cost, time, and resource constraints of automotive engineering. The final chapters take a hands-on, practical approach to threat modeling automotive systems and instruct you on implementing security controls across various vehicle architecture layers.
By the end of this book, you will have learned effective methods for managing cybersecurity risks in any automotive product, from individual libraries to entire vehicle architectures.
Learn about present and future vehicle networking technologies. Explore fundamental concepts for securing automotive systems. Discover diverse approaches to system threat modeling. Use best practices for efficient threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA) for automotive systems. Fully understand ISO/SAE 21434's approach to cybersecurity engineering. Ensure that cybersecurity controls are implemented throughout all stages of the vehicle life cycle. Master ECU-level cybersecurity controls.
If you are an engineer looking to start in automotive cybersecurity or understand applicable security standards for your product, this book is for you. This book is intended for experienced engineers seeking a practical approach to automotive cybersecurity development that can be achieved within a reasonable time frame while leveraging established safety and quality processes. Understanding basic automotive development processes across the V-model will help you get the most out of this book. More Information...
Teensy 4.1 Triple CAN Bus Board with Two CAN 2.0B and One CAN FD Port with 240x240 IPS LCD
The Teensy 4.1 Triple CAN Bus Board with 240x240 IPS LCD is a Teensy 4.1 board with triple CAN Bus connections, two Classical CAN 2.0B, and one CAN FD. It can be powered by an external +12 VDC power supply with reverse voltage protection. Also included is a 240x240 wide-angle IPS TFT LCD.
The Teensy 4.1 is an Arduino-compatible board with an Arm Cortex-M7 microcontroller at 600 MHz. The board is compatible with the Arduino IDE and the Arduino library. In most cases, code written for another Arduino board works with a minimum of changes on a Teensy. More Information...
OBD-II and the Hacking of Automotive CAN Bus Networks
Let me clarify: this is not a guide to hacking automotive networks. Instead, I attempt to dismiss some common misconceptions about OBD-II and its supposed ability to control a vehicle (Spoiler alert: It cannot). As someone who has spent considerable time studying and working with CAN Bus technologies, I think it is time to set [...]
