Automotive systems become increasingly complex due to their functional range and data exchange with the outside world. Until now, functional safety of such safety-critical electrical/electronic systems has been covered successfully. However, the data exchange requires interconnection across trusted boundaries of the vehicle. This leads to security issues like hacking and malicious attacks against interfaces, which could bring up new types of safety issues. Before mass-production of automotive systems, evidences and arguments are required regarding two aspects. Product engineering has been done compliant to specific standards and supports arguments that the system is free of unreasonable safety and security risks. This paper shows a safety and security co-engineering framework, which covers standard compliant process derivation and management, and supports product specific safety and security co-analysis. Furthermore, we investigate processand product-related argumentation and apply the approach to an automotive use case regarding safety and security.Keywords: Safety and security co-engineering • process-and product-based argumentation • process and argumentation patterns • automotive domain • ISO 26262 • SAE J3061
Nowadays systems are becoming more and more connected. Consequently, the co-engineering of (cyber)security and safety life cycles becomes paramount. Currently, no standard provides a structured co-engineering process to facilitate the communication between safety and security engineers. In this paper, we propose a process for co-engineering safety and security by the explicit systematization and management of commonalities and variabilities, implicitly stated in the requirements of the different standards. Our process treats the safety and security life cycles as members of a security-informed safety-oriented process line and so it forces safety and security engineers to come together and brainstorm on what might be considered a commonality and what might be considered a variability. We illustrate the usage of our process by systematizing commonalities and variabilities at risk analysis phase in the context of ISO 26262 and SAE J3061. We then draw lessons learnt. Finally, we sketch some directions for future work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
