“Seis” — security in embedded IP-based systems

The constantly increasing variety of networking technologies used in automobiles today results in complex and cost-intensive E/E architectures. For this reason the innovation alliance for automobile electronics E|ENOVA initiated the research project “SEIS — Safety in Embedded IP-based Systems”, with the aim of creating a consistent security solution for internet protocol based communication inside the vehicle and for the vehicle's communication with the environment. The project partners now report for the first time on the success of the security initiative, which was started one year ago.
