Articles on the topic of Automotive Cybersecurity. Includes technology, processes and structures, regulation and best practice.
The IMDEA Networks research group, together with academic and government partners, has published a new paper on a long-standing problem (e.g. 1, 2, 3, and 4) in vehicle security and privacy: TPMS wheel sensors still tend to broadcast tyre telemetry over the air in clear text and include identifiers that remain stable for long periods.

They do not play out in isolation within individual OEMs; they have also become a topic in the discussions around amending a free trade agreement (FTA) between the European Union and Korea. How are the two connected? From the perspective of the OEMs that, over...

In the automotive context, this approach is well institutionalised in Europe, above all through UN Regulation No. 155, with its CSMS...
Mit der Reform des europäischen Roadworthiness Package wird ein altes Prüfregime in eine neue Welt gezwungen. Periodische technische Inspektionen (PTI) und Roadside Inspections (RSI) sollen nicht mehr nur mechanische Zustände, sichtbare Mängel und klassische OBD-Artefakte abklopfen, sondern zunehmend das prüfen, was moderne Fahrzeuge tatsächlich steuert: elektronische Sicherheitssysteme. In...
