A computer system for providing a plurality of functions for a device, in particular for a vehicle. The computer system has a plurality of system modules configured to provide functions that are differently critical for the operational security of the device. Each system module or a part of a system module is assigned to one zone of a plurality of zones, a zone being a logically and/or physically delimitable unit in the computer system. A first zone is more trustworthy than a second, less trustworthy zone, the danger of a manipulation of a more trustworthy zone being less than of a less trustworthy zone. A first, more critical function being provided by a system module of the first zone and a less critical function being provided by a system module of the second zone.

System for providing a plurality of functions for a device, in particular for a vehicle

A computer-implemented method. The method comprises analyzing a communication, secured by one or more cryptographic methods, between a first component of a plurality of components of an on-board network of a vehicle and a central device for mitigating a software manipulation. The central device for mitigating a manipulation is part of the on-board network and is designed for software mitigation in each of the plurality of components of the on-board network. The method further comprises identifying the possibility of a manipulation of the software of the first component in the central device for mitigating a software manipulation, based on the analysis of the communication, and initiating a countermeasure to mitigate the manipulation of the software of the first component by way of the central device for mitigating a manipulation.

Mitigating a vehicle software manipulation

A computer-implemented method. The method includes recognizing the possibility of a manipulation of the software of a first component of a plurality of components of a vehicle electrical system of a vehicle in a central device for mitigating a manipulation of software. The central device for mitigating a manipulation is part of the vehicle electrical system, and is designed to mitigate a manipulation of software in each component of the plurality of components of the vehicle electrical system. The method further includes initiating a countermeasure for mitigating the manipulation of the software of the first component and carrying out the countermeasure for mitigating the manipulation of the software of the first component. The countermeasure includes changing a functionality of the first component and at least partially shifting the functionality of the first component to one or multiple other components of the plurality of components.
