Current studies show that the proportion of electronic systems in vehicles is continually increasing and that an ever-growing number of vehicle functions is implemented by means of software. Considering these facts, both manufacturers and suppliers face the challenge of having to protect the installed hardware and software components against unauthorised manipulation. After all, incorrect operation of these components can incur considerable safety risks for both the driver and the vehicle. In addition, the usage of software in vehicles creates the basis for new marketing and purchasing strategies for the corresponding vehicle functions. The resulting competitive edge requires the implementation of protective measures in the company and the protection of the functions in the vehicle.
