When Carl Benz patented his number 130 motor car over 1 years ago and the worldwide triumph of the automobile began, nobody would have dreamed where passenger cars would be at the beginning of the 21s. Autonomous driving, car sharing or electromobility are just a few of the keywords that outline the megatrends of the automotive industry today. Car manufacturers must take political, social and legal factors into account and comply with a large number of regulations. In particular, the security aspect plays an increasingly important role, because new technologies also entail new risks. These include, in particular, cyberattacks and hacker attacks, which can compromise the protection of customer data and even human lives on the road. How do manufacturers live up to this enormous responsibility?
Eavesdropping and tamper-proof communication
A first step to ensure cybersecurity is to use virtual private communication networks, so-called VPNs. This is essential in many industries because it is used as a transport medium that can connect participants from one communication network to another. If possible, encryption should be added, which then enables interception-proof and tamper-proof communication between the different VPN partners. Some providers offer a 30-day VPN trial version so that you can try out high-quality VPNs risk-free and be impressed by the individual functions. In particular, the guaranteed security against hackers and monitoring, for example through 256-bit AES encryption and DNS/IPv6 leak protection, are important arguments for using an ExpressVPN.
Use of blockchain
Blockchain technology plays a major role in the automotive industry. Various German car manufacturers such as Porsche, Daimler and Audi are already using blockchain in their vehicles to address various relevant security aspects. In particular, efficiency and transparency should be promoted and the use of artificial intelligence and the integration of automated processes in the interaction between humans and machines should be made possible. At Mercedes-Benz, blockchain technology has recently also been used in the area of supply chains. There is no doubt that this new technology has a lot of potential, especially in the area of cybersecurity, and there is still a lot of potential to be exploited.
Modern Trusted Platform Modules
The realization that modern vehicles - so-called "connected cars" - as rolling computers, in particular, require special cyber protection has long since arrived in the industry. Accordingly, technology companies have made it their business to develop solutions for these specific cases. For example, Infineon presented its Trusted Platform Module (TPM). This TPM is the first to be developed specifically for automotive applications to protect communication between the manufacturer and the vehicle. A TPM is a hardware-based security solution that automakers can use to protect sensitive data for access rights or authentication. The TPM can be updated during operation to keep the safety level up to date over the entire life of the vehicle.
Germany is a popular destination for cybercriminals, who hardly need to have extensive technical know-how to cause significant damage. Modern networked vehicles in particular offer a variety of points of attack, such as keyless entry, which allows criminals to easily gain access to the vehicle and sell individual parts or the entire car. Only through a thorough analysis of the possible vulnerabilities of this modern technology and the corresponding preventive measures can consumers be protected from these dangers.
