The automotive industry is on the brink of a transformative shift with the rise of Ethernet in zone-based E/E architectures. This evolution not only enables innovative use cases, but also introduces new security challenges.

Software-defined networking (SDN), a cornerstone of the Software-defined Vehicle, brings new fundamental requirements, such as dynamic network reconfiguration during runtime and enhanced performance for cryptographic protocols due to increased communication load of ADAS functionalities. It also requires robust security configurations for the network due to the increasing complexity of communication streams.
