Overview of this book

Replete with exciting challenges, automotive cybersecurity is an emerging domain, and cybersecurity is a foundational enabler for current and future connected vehicle features. This book addresses the severe talent shortage faced by the industry in meeting the demand for building cyber-resilient systems by consolidating practical topics on securing automotive systems to help automotive engineers gain a competitive edge. The book begins by exploring present and future automotive vehicle architectures, along with relevant threats and the skills essential to addressing them. You’ll then explore cybersecurity engineering methods, focusing on compliance with existing automotive standards while making the process advantageous. The chapters are designed in a way to help you with both the theory and practice of building secure systems while considering the cost, time, and resource limitations of automotive engineering. The concluding chapters take a practical approach to threat modeling automotive systems and teach you how to implement security controls across different vehicle architecture layers. By the end of this book, you'll have learned effective methods of handling cybersecurity risks in any automotive product, from single libraries to entire vehicle architectures.

Synergies and differences in the testing phase

Verification testing takes place at multiple stages of the development process, starting with the unit level, then the component level, and ending at the system level. A system developed according to ISO 26262 is expected to achieve a high level of quality assurance through testing rigor in proportion to the system safety integrity level. These test methods reinforce the quality argument of the system by verifying the correctness of the unit design and implementation, and the ability of the integrated system components to achieve the system objectives. One example test method defined by safety engineering is boundary value and equivalence class-based (BVEC) testing. BVEC testing involves testing the software system with values that are at the boundaries of the input domain or just outside of it to detect improper software responses. BVEC testing aims to identify any errors or exceptions that occur at the boundary values of input domains...
