Trusted Computing Shows Solutions for Automobile Data Security Concerns

Trusted Computing (TCG) has unveiled solutions and a prototype designed to address security concerns in automobiles.

The solutions are designed to address challenges associated with transmission of data between remote entities and vehicles and evaluate reliability of embedded electronic control units (ECUs) for auto operations.

TCG's concept is based on trusted platform module and trusted network connect specifications that can evaluate ECU's firmware and software, cryptographic keys, identity, updates for firmware and software updates, anti-rollback protection and secure configuration memory.

The TCG TPM 2.0 Automotive Thin Profile specification provides cryptographic key management and verification of digital signatures and safety remote installations.

It also recognizes auto environment constraints, including temperature, vibration, limited memory, power management limitations and long life cycles.

TCG members Fujitsu and Toyota InfoTechnology Center are scheduled to demonstrate solutions at the SAE 2015 World Congress & Exhibition on 22 April.

Toyota InfoTechnology Center TCG TPM 2.0 Automotive-Thin profile co-editor Hisashi Oguma said: "With other TCG members, we have been working to secure communication with a remote service center or other entity.

"Using the secure communication, we furthermore want to provide the connecting services, which enrich customers.

"The demonstration with TCG member Fujitsu shows how the TPM and TNC protocols are used, and the new specification gives component makers the blueprint for creating products that can be developed now."
