Automotive Cybersecurity Symposium 2021
Looking Forward
4th Automotive Cybersecurity Symposium 2021

The next Automotive Cybersecurity Symposium will take place on October 06 and 07, 2021 in a virtual space.
Look forward to the latest information on ISO 21434 and CSMS, Learning Systems and Security, Fuzz and Pen Testing as well as Automotive Intrusion Detection Systems. You will experience presentations from ASRG, Bosch, IBM, Lear, Marquardt and Vector as well as a discussion round on current safety and security topics.
Agenda
Wednesday October 6, 2021 | |
---|---|
14:00 / 2 p.m. CEST | ISO 21434 and CSMS in Practice Oliver Huppenbauer | Marquardt
Experience of Tier 1 how to implement ISO/SAE 21434 into company and how to integrate Cybersecurity into existing management systems. |
15:00 / 3 p.m. CEST | Grey-Box Penetration Testing for Full Life-Cycle Cybersecurity
Automotive electronics and enterprise IT are converging and thus open the doors for advanced hacking. With classic security testing, vulnerability detection is inefficient and incomplete. In this presentation, we show how an enhanced Grey-Box Penetration Test (GBPT) needs less test cases while being more effective in terms of coverage and indicating less false positives. We will show the systematic approach to GBPT and underline with industry experiences the take-aways. |
16:00 / 4 p.m. CEST | Automotive Safety and Security – Current Trends and Challenges
With the current trend towards automated driving, connectivity, and electrification we have to deal with new challenges in the area of vehicle safety. In the past we had a strong focus on functional safety (ISO 26262), but this will be no longer sufficient in future – other aspects of vehicle safety will become more and more important, for example SOTIF (safety of the intended functionality), security (especially the safety relevance of intended manipulations), safety regulations etc. Especially the trend that more and more support and functionality come from the infrastructure lead to new safety and security questions. For example, what if someone manipulates not the vehicle itself, but the environment of the vehicle? This presentation will give an overview over the current activities in the area of standardization and regulations and the activities which are required to ensure safe vehicles in future. It will give some examples how to deal with upcoming safety questions and how the different safety aspects could interact. |
17:00 / 5 p.m. CEST | Discussion Panel: How To Effectively Combine Cybersecurity and Safety André Weimerskirch | Lear
Cybersecurity and functional safety are closely related and must be implemented together. However, this is challenging due to lack of combined methods but also due to different responsibilities in companies. This panel shows how cybersecurity and safety can be effectively implemented: Sustainably and cost-effectivly. |

14:00 / 2 p.m. CEST | Scalable Automotive Intrusion Detection Systems: From the ECU To the VSOC
|
15:00 / 3 p.m. CEST | Automated Threat Evaluation of Automotive Diagnostic Protocols
Diagnostic protocols in automotive systems can offer a huge attack surface with devastating impacts if vulnerabilities are present. This presentation shows the application of active automated learning techniques for reverse engineering system state machines of automotive systems. The developed black-box testing strategy is based on diagnostic protocol communication. Through this approach, it is possible to automatically investigate a highly increased attack surface. Based on a new metric, introduced in this presentation, we are able to rate the possible attack surface of an entire vehicle or a single ECU. A novel attack surface metric allows comparisons of different ECUs from different OEMs, even between different diagnostic protocols. |
16:00 / 4 p.m. CEST | Fuzz Testing the ISO 15118 Protocol Stack
The charging port is a new, externally accessible gateway for vehicle attacks, which requires systematic robustness and security tests of the ISO15118 interface. The presentation displays how IP, TCP, TLS and EXI protocols can be tested automatically with the combination of fuzz and security tests. In focus is the test of TLS handshake and X509 certificates. |
17:00 / 5 p.m. CEST | Keeping Your ECU Secure Against Compromised Adaptive Applications
The AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform (AP) enables the implementation of multiple tasks with different security objectives on a single ECU. Identity and Access Management (IAM) allows to assign access permissions on platform resources and services. We present the principles, architecture and application of IAM. |
18:00 / 6 p.m. CEST | ISO 21434 From a Software Supplier Point of View Till Neudecker | Vector |
Looking Back: 2020
Health and Safety First

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the Automotive Cybersecurity Symposium 2020 unfortunately did not take place.
Nevertheless, we were able to present two interesting lecture at the 1st Vector Virtual Week on the topic of Automotive Cybersecurity:
2019
3rd Automotive Cybersecurity Symposium
In April 2019 the Wagenhallen Stuttgart was the perfect venue for the Automotive Cybersecurity Symposium. In conjunction with the Automotive Ethernet Symposium and the Connectivity Symposium, about 200 E/E engineers and developers enjoyed 3 days of deep insights and know-how.
