Industry 4.0, Autonomous Vehicles, Smart Homes...The Issue is Security
Published2017.03.10 12:18The issue is 'security'.
High-value connected products such as Industry 4.0, autonomous vehicles, and smart home solutions require updatable security mechanisms. In response, Infineon Technologies has announced that it will lead the ALESSIO research project, focusing on the development and validation of security mechanisms going forward.
The project involves AISEC (Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security), Giesecke & Devrient, Siemens, Technical University of Munich (TUM), and WIBU-SYSTEMS based in Karlsruhe, with approximately 3.9 million euros in funding provided by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) through the end of 2019.
An Infineon representative stated, "Over the next three years, the ALESSIO research partners will develop updatable security solutions for embedded systems," adding, "One approach is to use updatable software on hardware-based security chips (Secure Element). We are also developing security chips (Secure Element) based on complex programmable logic devices (FPGA). Ultimately, the validity and functionality of this solution will be verified through three practical prototypes."
