FEV North America partners with Eclypses to enhance security for smart vehicles

FEV North America has integrated Eclypses’ MicroToken Exchange (MTE) technology into its Cyber Security Gateway in a partnership that aims to lock out cyber threats to smart vehicles and help accelerate deployment. MTE replaces a command with a MicroToken just before transmission and is said to be compatible with any communication protocol. Once the transmission packet has reached the receiver, it is then translated back into the original command by referencing a paired library. The technology will also

The technology will also be demonstrated next month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

    Accidental or malicious issue of false messages to connected vehicles could result in dire consequences, so secure systems of authentication and certification are likely to be necessary, write Paul Avery and Sandra Dykes. Connectivity among vehicles in urban traffic systems will provide opportunity for beneficial impacts such as congestion reduction and greater safety. However, it also creates security risks with the potential for targeted disruption. Security algorithms, protocols and procedures must take
