Continental’s Remote Vehicle Data (RVD) platform is the basis for innovative, connected services.
The platform enables standardised access to manufacturer-specific vehicle data for numerous
makes and models. RVD is aimed at vehicle manufacturers, car dealers, rental companies, fleet
operators, repair workshops and insurance companies. The platform provides an end-to-end solution
and integrates seamlessly into Continental’s modular cloud solutions for connectivity-based services.
Continental AG provides a wide range of connected car components such as:
Head unit:
The head unit provides the driver with a variety of entertainment features, such as radio, navigation
and apps integrated into the system. Additional comfort functions such as a sound system, climate
control and connectivity features are also realized. This component contains given features:
• Head unit systems with optional controls elements such as touchscreens or buttons
• Head unit as so-called Silverbox
• Linux based Operating Systems
• Very high μC-processing capacity for a variety of complex functions
• Automotive security for the protection of your onboard data
Telematics gateway:
Increasingly vehicles are connected with their environment, and advanced servicing measures can
be performed by remote diagnosis and virtual updates. Additionally, information concerning the
infrastructure, such as damaged roads or accidents can be relayed back to the driver en-route. It
provides a telematics system that offers solutions for flexible and rapid application.
• Linux OS-based telematics systems
• Automotive security for the protection of your data

4.92.4 Rambus Inc.: Connected Cars
Connected cars make lives easier by integrating the functionality of the mobile world with favourite
mode of transport. The increase in complexity and connectivity does come with an increased risk.
Like all connected devices, they are vulnerable to hacking and other attacks. The CryptoManager
platform and other Rambus technology are here to provide protection, safety and comfort, allowing
us to use connected cars worry free. From chip management to device personalization, the
CryptoManager security platform creates a trusted path for the SoC manufacturing supply chain.
This platform provides given benefits:
Improve Profitability:
• Reduce NRE and operating costs
• Improve time-to-market
• Reduce inventory waste
Superior Security:
• Provide a robust hardware root-of-trust
• Protect valuable secret keys, identity credentials, and other sensitive data
• Protect against reverse engineering and counterfeiting
Streamline Operations:
• Automate provisioning of keys
• Enable common platform across product lines
• Integrate easily into existing manufacturing flow
The demand for trusted applications on mobile and IoT devices is on the rise. As the amount of
valuable data housed and communicated across mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices
continues to grow, the need for a robust hardware based security solution becomes increasingly
important. However, establishing and maintaining trust across an increasingly fragmented
ecosystem has proven to be a daunting task. CryptoManager provides lifecycle cryptographic
security management necessary to secure connected devices over public networks. Services
include:
• Provisioning of keys during semiconductor and device manufacturing
• Controlling critical test and debug traces
• Enabling feature and device settings
• Securing in-field key provisioning
• Over-the air-updates of device software and firmware
