A new simulator aimed at automotive companies has been launched by Code Intelligence. The Classic AUTOSAR Simulator helps car makers identify critical vulnerabilities early in the testing process.
The lightweight Classic AUTOSAR enables companies to perform thorough security testing on systems like electronic stability control (ESC), steering, electric parking brakes, park distance control, infotainment, anti-theft systems, remote keyless entry, and more. By using it, manufacturers can find security vulnerabilities accessible via external channels, such as Bluetooth or other public-facing interfaces.
Automotive software developers can also perform whitebox fuzz testing as security testing and standard testing techniques, including unit, integration and end-to-end tests, entirely in software.
“Code Intelligence’s AUTOSAR Simulator allows us to execute and fuzz code in a software-in-the-loop manner. It automates finding bugs as early as possible and ensures that all delivered components from Tier 2 suppliers don’t contain critical vulnerabilities as buffer overflows,” said Dr Michael von Wenckstern, product cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance specialist, Continental.
“The value it brings to our automotive customers is significant: faster development cycles, enhanced security assurance and the ability to ensure the reliability of complete automotive systems well before they hit the road,” said Khaled Yakdan, co-founder and chief product officer, Code Intelligence.
