Embedded Security in Cars
Securing Current and Future Automotive IT Applications



The book “Embedded Security in Cars” collects a state-of-the-art overview on all aspects relevant for IT security in automotive applications. escrypt was involved in the writing of different chapters of this book. The book is published by Springer Verlag (ISBN 3-540-28384-6) and consitsts of almost 300 pages. The book is the first in this fast-growing area and of scientific importance, it is indispensable for both researchers in software or embedded security and professionals in the automotive industry.
The book is structured into three parts. "Security in the Automotive Domain" describes applications for which IT security is crucial, like immobilizers, tachographs, and software updates. "Embedded Security Technologies" details security technologies relevant for automotive applications, e.g., symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, and wireless security. "Business Aspects of IT Systems in Cars" shows the need for embedded security in novel applications like location-based navigation systems and personalization.
