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.

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 be demonstrated next month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

    South Korean company Zitek is launching its heated LED traffic signal solution in the US and Canadian markets—meeting with distributors and DoTs while waiting for its ITE certification. It’s just in time, as climate change is creating more dangerous wintery weather across North America. As state DoTs have switched from incandescent bulbs to LED traffic lights to save energy and maintenance costs, an unintended consequence has been that the low-wattage bulbs do not get hot enough to melt snow that accumul
