Project Goal
The upcoming connected and autonomous vehicles, as well as connected embedded devices in many application areas, require a higher level of security, safety, and privacy. Verification and validation in general and security testing, in particular, are an integral part of building trustworthy ICT systems. The TRUSTED project will take an attack-driven approach to black-box testing of automotive systems as well as embedded devices that researches and develops novel solutions for effective and efficient security testing at different levels of abstraction in the system development lifecycle. Existing knowledge of attacks will be modeled and simulated with a guided search to explore potential weaknesses of an automotive system-under-test. The project will demonstrate the results in real-world use cases.
