As vehicles continue to become more connected and reliant on technology, cybersecurity has become a crucial aspect of their design.
With a multitude of smart components within the vehicle that interacts with each other and the environment, it's essential to ensure that security measures are not only implemented within the vehicle but also extended to vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid communication. The growing number of electronic control units (ECUs) makes secure communication mandatory, and the increasing use of the software requires regular and secure updates. Every smart vehicle component has to authenticate itself for integrity, confidentiality and authenticity.
