Security Risk Analysis Methodologies for Automotive Systems

Abstract: Nowadays, systematic security risk analysis plays a vital role in the automotive domain. The demand for advanced driver assistance systems and connectivity of vehicles to the internet makes cyber-security a crucial requirement for vehicle manufacturers. This paper summarizes the risk analysis method stated in the recently released automotive security standard ISO/SAE 21434, which lays the high-level principles for threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA) methods. Following, we introduce a specific use case to compare different security analysis approaches which OEMs can benefit from to achieve compliance with the standard.
