The software running on electronic devices is regularly updated,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

these days. A vehicle consists of many such devices, but is operated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in a completely different manner than consumer devices. Update operations

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

are safety critical in the automotive domain. Thus, they demand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for a very well secured process. We propose an on-board security architecture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

which facilitates such update processes by combining hardware

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and software modules. In this paper, we present a protocol to show how

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this security architecture is employed in order to achieve secure firmware

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

updates for automotive control units.
