Telemaco 3P Platform Unveiled at CES 2020
Enhanced Security for Vehicle-to-Cloud Connectivity

ST Microelectronics and Cisco have unveiled a secure telematics solution demo targeting the automotive market at CES 2020.
The automotive security gateway jointly developed by both companies is implemented based on ST's automotive processor SoC Telemaco3P, specialized in secure telematics and connectivity, and Cisco's hypervisor-based RTOS PikeOS, which provides avionics-grade safety and security.

The newly unveiled Telemaco 3P platform provides a cost-effective solution by securely connecting vehicles and the cloud. The asymmetric multicore architecture features a powerful application processor as well as an independent CAN control subsystem optimized for power management.

Additionally, it enhances developer convenience through ISO 26262 silicon design, embedded hardware security modules, and automotive-grade authentication capable of supporting ambient temperatures up to 105°C. Through this, developers can implement comprehensive secure telematics applications supporting high-throughput wireless connectivity and wireless firmware updates.

PikeOS extends the concept of secure telematics by encapsulating all communication channels and applications as individual partitions. Individual partitions cannot communicate with each other unless explicitly permitted by the developer, and kernel levels are strictly separated to prevent malfunctions or malicious attacks running in one partition from affecting software running in other partitions.

PikeOS is currently the only RTOS/hypervisor certified with CC (Common Criteria, EAL 3+), and the operating system is widely used in critical safety and security applications across the aerospace, railway, and automotive industries.

The automotive security gateway presented by ST and Cisco implements comprehensive security concepts including virtualized firewalls, IDS (Intrusion Detection System), fast and secure boot functionality, and safe wireless update processes.

It implements a secure cloud communication environment using LTE and supports secure in-vehicle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and CAN connectivity.

Through CES 2020, both companies demonstrated how the automotive security gateway detects and mitigates wireless attacks.

Luca Lodestschini, Head of Strategy Development for ST Automotive and Discrete Products Group and Head of Automotive Processor Business Unit, stated, "Secure telematics is a key component of ADAS, and security certification is a major concern for both OEMs and suppliers. We are pleased to collaborate with Cisco to achieve a new dimension of certifiable automotive solutions."
