ESCRYPT has obtained the ISO/SAE 21434 certificate for its security firmware CycurHSM. The product was certified with the highest security level CAL4 (Cybersecurity Assurance Level 4). The certification by TÜV Süd guarantees CycurHSM customers that the software stack for hardware security modules meets all the requirements of the new automotive cybersecurity standard.

Altium TASKING Automotive Development tools now support the host-side integration of ESCRYPT's security software CycurHSM. Automobile manufacturers and suppliers can thus easily and cost-effectively implement a safety concept qualified from compiler to security software in accordance with ASIL-D.

Versions 2.5.6 and higher of ESCRYPT’s CycurHSM security firmware support the secure use of X.509 certificates. Users may implement chains of trust based on certificates that are protected by the hardware security module (HSM).

Every day, Mirko Lange heads out into the field on behalf of automotive security. He is a Field Application Engineer (FAE) for CycurHSM.

Vehicle computers are about to merge vehicle domains and their software-controlled functions. The ECUs in the periphery are increasingly becoming input/output devices whose actual application takes place at the computer level. The advantages for OEMs are far-reaching: IP is shifted to the central computers. The complexity of E/E architectures is reduced, as is the engineering effort.

With CycurHSM 2.x, automotive security provider ESCRYPT has developed a software stack that gives hardware security modules on ECU microcontrollers significantly more IT security functions than before. Enabling secure authorization procedures to be set up for automotive applications is just one feature of the new security software.

Effective vehicle protection begins right in the ECU. Hardware security modules (HSMs) anchor security functions directly in the ECUs’ main processors.

On March 16 from 15:00 to 18:00 CET, the TRAVEO II Knowledge Lab 2022 will host a free online workshop entitled "Get control of the motors". Dive into the world of intelligent, safe, and secure motor control together with experts from ESCRYPT, EBV, HighTec, Infineon, MOTEON, and Hitex.
