Part 1:Understanding the Cybersecurity Relevance of the Vehicle Electrical Architecture

In the first part of the book, we aim to understand the cybersecurity relevance of vehicle electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures to gain perspective on how such systems can become vulnerable to attacks and the relevant threats that apply. After walking through the evolution of vehicle E/E architecture, we introduce basic cybersecurity concepts that will aid us in later chapters when we perform security analysis and derive security controls. We end the first part of the book by surveying the threat landscape to give us a clear idea of the security problem that lies ahead.

This part has the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, Introducing the Vehicle Electrical/Electronic Architecture
• Chapter 2, Cybersecurity Basics for Automotive Use Cases
• Chapter 3, Threat Landscape against Vehicle Components
