Automotive Linux Summit & Open Source Summit Japan 2018

The automotive industry demands better in-car services for their customers and to keep software security up do date over a long product life-cycle. Because there have been security accidents reported when accessing vehicles over-the-air (OTA) new methods for software updates are essential. Some OTA implementations utilize wake-up sequences to start the connection with the vehicle by using SMS services. There is a need to inform the vehicle to start the software download, thus a wake-up function is needed. In contrast, this presentation outlines the use of Radio-on-demand (ROD) sensors to create trusted zones which enable more secure OTA software upgrades. These zones can be pre-defined and modified to secure each part of the vehicle's life-cycle. AGL provides the basic APIs and details are given in this presentation how to connect ROD sensors in AGL.
