Security Suite for TCU

Solution

iWave Systems, with vast expertise in automotive solutions and embedded systems, was chosen as the telematics device partner and implementation of the security features .

iWave Systems introduced a Security suite which secures connected devices, enabling them with security functions such as encryption, storage, data transmission and certificate management. The easy to integrate solution helps address the security challenges creating a safe and secure environment. Security Suite includes secure boot, Wi-Fi secure API, event logging, OS hardening, access control, software firewall and secure firmware update to name a few.

Our security architecture was developed to protect the integrity of the firmware. This means that even if a malicious actor manages to hack the device, they will be unable to interfere with the firmware. Thus, reduces the complexity and huge financial loss in terms of the data that can be lost.

Implementation

Secure File System takes an end-to-end approach of protecting data by cryptography preventing unauthorized access to the data storage. The entire file system is encrypted. So, Without proper encryption keys, data stored on any encrypted file system cannot be read (decrypted). Root file system is booted with read-only mode and write permission is given in a controlled way.
