SODA-IIoT4Automotive: Blockchain to keep the Automotive ECU up-to-date
Contact : nabil.bouzerna@irt-systemx.fr
The SODA-IIoT4Automotive demonstrator is built on top of the CHESS platform
(Cybersecurity Hardening Environment for Systems of Systems), an experimental and
technical cybersecurity platform funded by ANSSI to support cybersecurity research effort
at Institute for Technological Research SystemX - Paris-Saclay (EIC & CTI R&D projects).
This platform is part of French Government “Nouvelle France Industrielle”, Cybersecurity
plan, action 8: set up one or more testing and demonstration cybersecurity platforms.
Secured On-the-pouce Decentralized Architecture for the Industrial Internet of Things (SODA-IIoT), co-designed with
IRT SystemX, CEA Tech List and Airbus Innovation Group, features innovative solutions to manage IIoT access rights
management & secure software and firmware updates through Blockchain technology & cryptographic signatures.
Automotive vehicles are composed of several dozens of Electronic Control Units (ECU). With the increasing
connectivity of the vehicles, the update of the ECU software will soon be performed Over-The-Air (OTA). This
includes the update of the in-vehicle infotainment, but also the more critical ECUs such as the body, motion and
Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) ECUs.
Co-designed with PSA Group and Valeo, SODA-IIoT4Automotive offers a secure way to update
automotive ECU software/firmware.
ECU software updates
For PSA and Valeo the accountability
and the availability of ECU software
updates are crucial, particularly for
security patches which require a fast
deployment.
