Automotive industry gets a boost with robust testing of camera
security and functional safety protocols
MONTREAL, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Introspect Technology, leading manufacturer of
electronic test and measurement instruments for high-speed digital
applications, announced the addition of the upcoming MIPI Camera
Service Extensions (CSE) v2.0 specification to its entire line of
SV5C MIPI C-PHY and D-PHY Generators and Analyzers. The extended
features, which can be activated by license on existing hardware,
pave the way for higher levels of automation with advanced
driver-assistance systems.
"Built upon established, industry recognized products, customers
can take advantage of the flexibility of the new Introspect
Technology CSE tools to design, develop, and test the way of the
future."
As levels of driving automation increase, up to six levels as
set out by the Society of Automotive Engineers, the requirement for
safety-critical vision systems escalates. The new MIPI CSE v2.0
specification, expected to be published in May, is a key component
of the forthcoming MIPI Security Framework, a framework designed to
provide end-to-end protection of MIPI CSI-2® data streams. The new
specification adds enablers for authentication to protect against
unauthorized system components, integrity protection to prevent
manipulation of data, and confidentiality to protect data
privacy.
The addition of MIPI CSE v2.0 testing features to the Introspect
Technology instruments provides leading developers with the early
ability to validate and characterize next-generation designs
targeting camera applications that require Security (Sec) and
Functional Safety (FuSa). Developed in lockstep with the
specification development itself, these instruments now provide a
highly granular set of security controls covering the different
segments of the CSI-2 image frame to enable a "sliding scale" of
security levels to be implemented. This includes support for:
- Multiple combinations of service tag modes.
- Multiple security variants, including stride-pattern based
message authentication and encryption.
- Frame counters and message counters for replay detection.
Dr. Mohamed Hafed, Chief Executive Officer at Introspect
Technology asserts, "For the automotive industry, a top requirement
is to provide end-to-end functional safety and security mechanisms
in autonomous vehicles that are independent of underlying
communication network topology." He continues, "Built upon
established, industry recognized products, customers can take
advantage of the flexibility of the new Introspect Technology CSE
tools to design, develop, and test the way of the future."
"As more image sensors are being deployed to support
safety-critical ADAS and ADS applications, the advantages offered
by CSE and the security framework become even more evident," said
Sanjiv Desai, MIPI Alliance chair.
"We're pleased to see Introspect Technology's support for CSE and
the security framework, which will help automakers streamline the
incorporation of crucial functional safety and security enablers
into their image sensor-based automotive systems."
The MIPI CSE license can be activated immediately for use on
applicable MIPI test systems produced by Introspect Technology.
Operated using Introspect's award-winning intuitive software,
Pinetree™, a versatile integrated development environment, the wide
range of CSE options can easily be verified for robustness and
interoperability testing.
