The high-level goal of the EU-project SECREDAS developed and validated multi-domain architecting methodologies, reference architectures and components for autonomous systems, combining high security and privacy protection while preserving functional-safety and operational performance.
One in four potential buyers/users in Europe of automated driving is reluctant to do so, mainly due to lack of security. To alleviate this problem, the ECSEL-project “Produc Security for Cross Domain Reliable Dependable Automated Systems” (SECREDAS) made a first important step into the direction of developing “trust”-building components and (sub-)systems for the European industries of tomorrow. Four main directions were addressed: Reference Architecture, Powerful Components, Common Approaches, Scenarios & Pilot Tests.
The approach taken was to study a number of relevant use cases with specific requirements of safety, security, and privacy. Together with current state-of-the-art reference architectures, the use cases led to a next generation of reference architecture and common elements for multiple application domains. On top of that, several domain-specific solutions have been built to work out domain-specific and common demonstrators for the different application domains. The project focus laid mainly on the automotive sector; in addition, the medical, railways, and aerospace spin-outs were also investigated.
