Infotainment System Security
Background
More and more, we use our phones for connected-car infotainment. And more and more, we increase our vulnerability to fraud, personal data breaches, and identity theft.
But there is a solution.
How Thirdwayv secures infotainment
We created a secure, lightweight add-on that forms a protective shield around Android Auto. The shield combines a secure boot with isolated app loading, app verification, and real-time platform integrity checks. It uses the Arm TrustZone approach to security at the silicon and CPU level.
You can choose, validate, and control which apps run on your model’s infotainment system. All of which can be purchased from either the Google Play store or your brand’s own app store.
Each app runs in an encrypted secure container. And there’s TrustZone hardware isolation for all vehicle communication buses. (Ethernet or Controller Area Network (CAN), as well as the trusted app running inside its authenticated execution environment.)
Additionally, we isolate the execution of secure cloud communications – making the solution immune to operating system vulnerabilities, malware, and rogue applications.
Your customers will be fully protected. And so will your reputation.
