Overview

Security built for physical AI systems

Modern autonomous vehicles and robotics contain a network of connected, asset-rich electronic control units (ECUs), that are exposed to broad and complex attack surfaces. Arm enables a highly robust system architecture with built-in security features, enhanced IP products and compute subsystems incorporating a dedicated security enclave, to help engineers ensure the integrity and confidentiality of assets.

Use cases

Cybersecurity use cases for autonomous machines

Protection of communication between unsecured objects

This involves securing communication between various components within the vehicle, helping to ensure that data is not intercepted or tampered with. Requirements include real-time situational awareness, including depth and motion in highly dynamic environments, with deterministic latency, sensor fusion, and safety-partitioned vision architectures.

Protection of Communication Between Unsecure Objects

Secure Boot enabled by Secure Enclave

This helps ensure that the ECU boot and operating system software programs have not been tampered with and are the manufacturer's verified versions.

Securing connected autonomous networks

This involves protecting the machine’s communication networks, electronic systems, software, and data from cyber attacks.

Securing cloud communications

This involves protecting communications between the cloud and physical machine to ensure exchanged data is limited and secure.
