Infineon and Vector are collaborating to enhance automotive cybersecurity, with Vector's AUTOSAR Classic embedded software MICROSAR Classic supporting Infineon's new AURIX TC4x microcontroller (MCU) family, according to a press release dated April 12.
The AURIX TC4x family meets the latest cybersecurity and safety standards ISO SAE 21434 and ISO 26262, and features a security concept that eliminates performance bottlenecks in fast and secured communication, supports post-quantum cryptography, and provides accelerators for cryptographic services that can be executed in parallel. All AURIX TC4x MCUs are equipped with a Cyber Security Realtime Module (CSRM) with dedicated memory as well as a Cyber Security Satellite (CSS).
With the new cybersecurity concept of AURIX TC4x, Infineon meets the requirements of future software-defined vehicles, for example, by supporting software over-the-air (SOTA) application scenarios. The new security cluster also serves communication protocols with authentication and authenticated encryption.
“Vector's tools equip engineers with a significant advantage, enabling them to simplify and manage challenging and highly complex subject areas. Together with our MCUs, Vector and Infineon enable customers to achieve highest reliability and quality. We look forward to a continued close partnership with our new AURIX TC4x generation,” said Lars Wemme, senior vice president of ADAS, Chassis & EE-Architecture at Infineon.
