Enabling safety and trust for software-defined vehicles

ESCRYPT CycurSoC

Enabling safety and trust for software-defined vehicles

Electrification, autonomous driving, Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and infotainment systems are driving the emergence of powerful on-vehicle computing platforms. The key central component of each of these platforms is a microprocessor-based system-on-chip (SoC). These SoC platforms are enabling the vehicle E/E architecture evolution from traditional distributed ECUs to a more centralized domain architecture. Advanced E/E architectures host powerful software functionality that enhances customers’ experience and increases automation. These benefits are, however, accompanied by newly-introduced cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats.

ESCRYPT CycurSoC – Your Optimized SoC cybersecurity solution

ESCRYPT CycurSoC is an embedded cybersecurity software solution for contemporary and future SoC-based automotive ECUs. Designed for automotive security use cases, it provides a complete set of security building blocks for heterogenous SoC architectures utilizing an HSM core and any other SoC CPU cores. The security solution is optimized for efficiency with minimal impact on available system resources.

While supporting open and standardized interfaces (e.g., SHE+, AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive), it is flexible and integrable with different embedded technology solutions, including virtual machines and various host environments.
