IT Security in Automotive Software Development

Abstract

In the last years, automotive systems evolved to be more and more software-intensive systems. As a result, considerable attention has been paid to establish an efficient software development process of such systems, where reliability is an important criterion. Hence, model-driven development (MDD), software engineering and requirements engineering (amongst others) found their way into the systems engineering domain. However, one important aspect regarding the reliability of such systems, has been largely neglected on a holistic level: the IT security. In this paper, we introduce a potential approach for integrating IT security in the requirements engineering process of automotive software development using function net modeling.
