Скачать или смотреть The Harsh Truth: Your Automotive ECU Is Not Secure Without an HSM

WEBINAR: https://edu.gettobyte.com/sessions/Ho...

Modern vehicles are no longer simple machines — they’re computers on wheels.
With 100+ ECUs, OTA updates, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, telematics, and cloud connectivity, cars have become smarter… but also far more vulnerable.

Most OEMs still rely on software-based encryption using AES/RSA through libraries like OpenSSL or MbedTLS.
But here’s the risk:
Software crypto alone cannot protect cryptographic keys — because keys stored in Flash memory can be extracted.
Once a hacker gets the key, they can:
• Clone ECUs
• Reverse-engineer firmware
• Inject malicious code
• Bypass boot validation
• Disable safety functions

And the ECU will still start as if everything is normal.

That’s why the automotive industry is shifting to HSM — Hardware Security Module.
An HSM is a dedicated hardware security subsystem inside the MCU that securely performs cryptographic operations while protecting keys inside silicon, making extraction nearly impossible.

MCUs like NXP S32K344, Infineon AURIX TC3xx, Renesas RH850, ST Stellar, TI Jacinto all come with built-in HSM/Hardware Security Engines designed specifically for automotive cybersecurity.

This is no longer optional.
By 2027, compliance with AIS-189 (India), ISO 21434, UN R155, and WP.29 cybersecurity regulations will be mandatory for ECUs.
No HSM means:
• Certification failure
• Vulnerable ECUs
• Large-scale recalls
• Safety hazards
• IP theft and cloning

With HSM, your ECU becomes secure-by-design, compliant, trusted, and production-ready.

To help engineers, OEMs, and startups implement real HSM-based security, @Gettobyte is hosting a live webinar on modern automotive cybersecurity.

We’ll cover:
• Embedded Security vs Cryptography
• ASICs & Secure Elements for ECU protection
• Automotive MCUs with built-in HSM
• How HSM enables AIS-189, UN R155 & ISO 21434 compliance
• Real architectures, demos, and implementation flow

This is essential knowledge for anyone building the next-generation automotive ECU.
