Safety & Security in 1969..
 Simple Wire Harness – one wire for each
vehicle function
 Simple to repair !
 No ECUs. No embedded software

 Security challenge with Complexity
 “Lines of Code” continues to increase *
— 2012 Gateway ECU – 50,000 LOC
— 2015 Gateway ECU 360,000 LOC
 S/W Problems Reported per annum : up 8x
 Validation and Testing is massively labour and cost intensive
— Average cost $10 per LOC
— Introduces project delay / SOP risks
 OEMs are expecting ISO26262 compliance, proof of testing,
requirements traceability
 Meet ASIL requirements : Typically B or higher for Cluster

Summary

 The Automotive industry changed permanently

— Innovation through embedded software will occur
continuously through the life of a vehicle
— Autonomous Vehicles evolving 2016-2025
 Secure architectures are needed to keep ahead of
hackers and DOS attacks
 Problem decomposition allows safety and security
requirements to be met / SEOOC approaches
