Secure gateways for EV applications

Designers of today’s vehicles face many challenges: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, automated driving, safety, trusted computing.

Vehicles have become a platform of interconnected computers requiring dependable electronics, fast data movement with networking oversight for software installation (OTA), maintenance (predictive), acting in unison with communication and commands issued from an OEM’s backend.

These trends converge to create a new application in today’s vehicle: secure gateways. By sharing data, designing network architectures, separating domains and zones through careful engineering and overseeing a vehicle’s operation, gateways enable a path for expansion as we add new e-Drivetrains (BEV, FHEV, PHEV, MHEV) and develop higher levels of Automated Driving (L1-L5).
