Automotive Security through New Communication Lockdown SOA Unique Benefits 8 : Hardware – physical separation of safety critical networks in distributed environment REUSABLE CYBERSECURITY SERVICES Including firewalls, remote server management, cryptography or the Communication Lockdown framework At the core of the hardware architecture is the physical separation of critical networks by isolating the communication interfaces. In order to pass data to one another, the communication interfaces have to go through a security mechanism. The platform can ensure data paths are enforced by physical means and not only by traditional software permissions. Custom IP cores can also be used and placed along those paths to further boost security assurance. INCREASED CONNECTIVITY Hosting services and downloadable applications for customization NEW REVENUE STREAMS Supporting an app store 9 for downloadable personalized apps and features Distributed Systems: The patent on distributed systems ensures that multiple units (SNO’s) within a vehicle work together in a cohesive manner in which they are not independent entities. This therefore enables multiple lockdown devices to operate together in a vehicle (e.g., internal and external ones). Since each device is only seeing a part of the network traffic, they can cooperate and exchange metadata about the traffic they see and approved/blocked. Thus, making the overall model more accurate. SCALABILITY Flexible hardware architecture for future unforeseen needs and data requirements INTEROPERABILITY Ability to host and communicate with all operating systems, whether mission critical or not and containing the failure of a single app/service so that others are unaffected. 8 GuardKnox Services Oriented Architecture (SOA)https://www.guardknox.com/services-oriented-architecture-automotive- services/ 9 Goldberg, Jillian (2017,11).
