10 Gbps Ethernet Automotive Networking platform

Molex and BlackBerry have now announced that they have teamed up to collaborate on the development of a 10 Gbps Ethernet Automotive Networking platform designed to increase data bandwidth in intelligent connected vehicles.

"Secure high-bandwidth Ethernet represents the future of in-vehicle and V2X connectivity," said Eric Scott, advanced technology manager and lead architect, Molex. "The industry-leading 10 Gbps Ethernet Automotive Network supports secure and reliable data transmission between multiple hardware and embedded software systems enabling end-to-end data integration and data prioritization for intelligent vehicles.

In order to provide reliable high-speed data transmission, prioritization, and scalability, the platform makes use of the following BlackBerry technologies:

• BlackBerry QNX Neutrino SDP 7.0 RTOS, which provides high performance and enhanced kernel-level security through an array of features including microkernel architecture, file encryption, adaptive time partitioning, a high-availability framework, anomaly detection, and multi-level policy-based access control.
• BlackBerry Certicom's Managed PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Service, to securely provision, authenticate, and communicate between modules and other vehicle ECUs and peripheral devices connected to the network. In-vehicle connections can be made via Ethernet IP-based devices or LIN, CAN, USB, and other supported legacy communication protocols. As part of the PKI, BlackBerry Certicom is providing an efficient and powerful Elliptic-Curve Cryptography (ECC) solution that can also be extended to communications between the vehicle systems and the cloud.

"Molex and BlackBerry believe that robust and secure high-speed Ethernet will become the fundamental automotive networking technology as we approach and enter the autonomous era," said Jim Alfred, vice president and GM of BlackBerry Certicom. "BlackBerry's embedded security solutions will ensure the growing amount of data collected and used in a car is trusted and secure.
