Integrated solution provides highly secure over-the-air vehicle
updates
DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
TU-Automotive - Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS), a leader in digital security dedicated to
providing a secure foundation for a connected world, and Movimento,
the leader in Over-the-Air (OTA) software lifecycle and data management
for the automotive/IoT sectors, have partnered to deliver secure,
convenient and personalized OTA vehicle updates critical to safety and
performance in the era of the connected car.
The CryptoManager platform adds an important layer of security to the
Movimento OTA solution. Vehicle updates provided by the combined
Movimento and Rambus solution offers one-time, single-use keys that are
unique to each vehicle, minimizing vulnerabilities and maximizing
security. As part of the collaboration, Movimento's OTA technology
utilizes the Rambus CryptoManager platform, enabling in-field
provisioning of encrypted keys generated for each vehicle and allowing
for secure communication between a vehicle and the cloud.
"As cars continue to increase in complexity and connectivity, often
depending on more than 100 million lines of code to function, car makers
and consumers alike are demanding simple and secure methods to download,
authenticate and install vehicle updates," said Mahbubul Alam, CTO of
Movimento. "By partnering with Rambus and integrating the CryptoManager
security platform with Movimento's OTA solutions, we are able to further
our strategy of building a best-in-class ecosystem of integrated
solutions to enable the software defined car and data analytics."
Movimento's tools and technologies are designed to reduce complexity
when making software and firmware updates by updating all the ECUs in a
car in one go securely. From the chip to the cloud, Movimento builds on
more than a decade of experience in automotive industry with the company
updating more than three million vehicles every year.
"Many current OTA solutions deliver functional updates and security
patches for vehicles using the same software encryption key for multiple
vehicles, increasing the vulnerability of the update," said Dr. Martin
Scott, general manager of the Rambus Cryptography Research Division.
"The Rambus CryptoManager solution provides an integrated security
platform with flexible implementation from the hardware root-of-trust to
the secure firmware which, when combined with Movimento's OTA
technology, enables the next level of integrated chip-to-cloud-to-car
security."
The CryptoManager platform allows for cost reduction by enabling
security features already embedded in automotive chipsets and requires
no additional security hardware. By utilizing an embedded hardware
solution, the CryptoManager platform minimizes the attack surface of the
vehicle by providing end point security.
Movimento and Rambus will be demonstrating the joint solution at
TU-Automotive in Detroit. Visitors can see how the solution works on a
live demo using a Dodge RAM truck in the Movimento's booth C67.
