Enhance Vehicle Security and Enable Advanced Connectivity
Technologies like Bluetooth®, 3G, 4G and LTE enable advanced connectivity features in vehicles but make them more vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks. The growing intensity and scope of these attacks make comprehensive security measures essential across the vehicle's systems.
To address these challenges, we offer the CryptoAutomotive™ security IC In-Vehicle Networking (IVN) TrustAnchor/Border Security Device (TA/BSD) development kit, which integrates security seamlessly into existing IVNs to minimize redesign costs. Additionally, our automotive-qualified dsPIC33C MPT secure DSCs provide robust security while meeting ISO 26262 functional safety and Hardware Security Module (HSM) architecture standards. The CEC1712 Platform Root of Trust controller ensures secure boot processes for critical systems like ADAS and infotainment using Linux®-based tools.
Why Design Your Automotive Security Solutions With Microchip?
Security does not exist only at a component level; there are many levels where secure processes and technologies must be implemented. With more than 20 years of experience in manufacturing security products, we leverage the hardware-based security developed for other industry sectors to add real physical protection to automotive networks. We’ve invested in the secure physical implementation of a manufacturing workflow that allows clients’ keys and certificates to be provisioned on our products in our secure facilities for parts that run in high volumes. We provide full audit trails, comply with many industry standards and are prepared to support new schemes evolving in the automotive sector.
Automotive Security Products
Reliable Security Solutions for Vehicles
Inside the vehicle, many Electronic Control Units (ECUs) must coexist and interoperate with each other while maintaining the integrity of the passing data. We provide solutions that work with crypto standards in the cloud and adapt them to the automotive framework to provide the same certificate, key agreement, authentication and content protection functions, including:
- A means to provide authenticated CAN messages and prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
- Secure boot of ECUs and the addition of secure boot functions to legacy processors
- Flexible implementation of many crypto functions
Our automotive-qualified, ISO 26262-ready dsPIC33C MPT secure DSCs with HSM-compliant security deliver robust protection for advanced automotive and high-performance designs. The dsPIC33C DSCs feature hardware security to defend against remote attacks, with anti-tampering and side-channel protections that safeguard embedded system credentials. Take advantage of the following features:
- Robust security with the simplicity of an MCU
- Secure subsystem that complies with the EVITA Full Specification for automotive security
- Immutable secure boot
- Secure firmware upgrade
- Secure on-board communication and message authentication
PIC32CX SG 32-Bit MCU With Integrated HSM
PIC32CX SG devices are automotive-qualified and ISO 26262 compliant and feature an integrated HSM within the System in Package (SiP). Designed for infotainment, AVAS and ADAS, they are code compatible with SAM E54 devices. The hardware security features protect against remote/network, non-invasive and invasive attacks.
