Five ways FPGAs can help make automotive cybersecurity more resilient

With its flexibility and efficient security features, FPGAs provide the automotive industry with five key cybersecurity resilience approaches: 1) The flexibility of FPGAs enables them to adapt to new security standards over time; 2) FPGAs can be used as hardware root of trust (HRoT) devices, laying the foundation for automotive system security; 3) FPGAs protect cars from firmware attacks in real time through the platform firmware protection and recovery (PFR) mechanism; 4) FPGAs help strengthen the security of the automotive supply chain and reduce risks such as counterfeiting and Trojan horse implants; 5) FPGAs support post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to combat quantum computing-based cyber attacks.
