The book "Trusted Computing for Adaptive Automotive Control Units in the Context of Inter-Vehicle Communication" offers a comprehensive analysis of security aspects in automotive electronics, particularly in the context of communication between vehicles. It examines how digital signatures can be used to secure this communication, ensuring safety in safety-critical applications. The work also presents a prototypical implementation on reconfigurable hardware that translates theoretical concepts into practice. Another central aspect is the application of Trusted Computing to secure the communication platform itself. These approaches are especially relevant at a time when the networking of vehicles is becoming increasingly important and security concerns play a central role.
