Automotive Cybersecurity IPs and Tools for ECUs, ADAS and In-Vehicle-Infotainment (IVI) Systems
Modern vehicles are sophisticated digital platforms — with dozens of ECUs, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and AI-driven control and perception systems. But with greater software complexity and connectivity comes increased vulnerability to cyberattacks, both local and remote, cryptographic key theft, and AI model manipulation.
FortifyIQ provides essential building blocks for automotive security — without compromising power, performance, or silicon area.
Automotive systems must withstand long lifespans, real-world attacks, and evolving regulatory demands:
Attackers with brief physical access to a vehicle can extract cryptographic keys via side-channel attacks (e.g., power analysis) and bypass secure boot or flash malicious firmware via fault injection (e.g., voltage glitching). They can then forge OTA updates to infect entire fleets, or spoof CAN bus messages remotely (if keys are leaked), and escalate to remote exploits (e.g., disabling brakes, stealing data), such as this attack.
In-vehicle AI models — for perception, behavior prediction, and more — must be protected from extraction, reverse engineering, and runtime manipulation via physical attacks.
Both passenger safety and the significant value of the AI models need to be safeguarded.
Millions of vehicles still rely on outdated ECUs with no hardware security and no upgrade path — yet they remain connected and vulnerable, requiring modern software protections without replacing silicon.
Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) turn every subsystem into a digital asset — from user-specific configurations and premium IVI content to monetizable sensor data streams. They must be protected against cyberattacks to secure the new associated business models.
With vehicles on the road for decades, cryptographic systems must be quantum-resistant today to remain secure tomorrow.
Secure systems must coexist with ISO 26262 safety architectures — without breaking performance/power/area (PPA) constraints.
OEMs and Tier 1s must align with ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE WP.29 R155/R156, and other emerging automotive cybersecurity requirements.
FortifyIQ enables automotive platforms to resist real-world cyberattacks — while meeting security, compliance, and performance goals.
