In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises maintaining a list of allowed interactions, the allowed interactions being between control applications and a basic component, the basic component including at least a program element defined by the AAP standard. In one aspect, when a request for a verdict as to whether or not access for an interaction of a first control application with the basic component is received from an operating system (OS) kernel, the method comprises performing a search in the list of allowed interactions, and when the interaction for which the request is received is found in the list, the method comprises providing a verdict to the OS kernel allowing the interaction.

System and method for providing a security policy

A method for protecting electronics systems of a vehicle from cyberattacks includes intercepting messages transmitted on a first communications bus between a plurality of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) of a vehicle. The ECUs are communicatively coupled to the first communications bus. At least one recipient ECU that is a recipient of the intercepted messages is determined. The intercepted messages and information indicating the determined at least one recipient ECU are stored in a log. The method further includes detecting a computer attack of the vehicle based on satisfaction of at least one condition of a rule by the stored messages and information in the log and blocking the computer attack of the vehicle by performing an action associated with the rule. The rule may depend on whether one or more intercepted messages are malicious messages and a recipient ECU of the malicious messages.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for access control in an electronic control unit (ECU). In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises, by an operating system (OS) kernel of the ECU of a vehicle, intercepting at least one request for an interaction of a control application with a basic component through an interaction interface provided by the basic component for interactions with applications, requesting from a security subsystem of the operating system, a verdict as to whether or not access for the interaction of the control application with the basic component through the interaction interface can be provided, and when the verdict is received from the security subsystem granting the access, providing the interaction between the basic component and the control application through the interaction interface in accordance with the received verdict.

Disclosed are systems and methods for generating rules for detecting and blocking attacks on electronics systems of a means of transportation. A security server receives log data having messages that were intercepted on the buses of the means of transportation around the time of a road traffic accident with the means of transportation. The security server detects computer attacks on the electronics systems and generates one or more rules that depend on one or more indicators of compromise, such as malicious messages used in a computer attack and information on at least one ECU that is a recipient of the malicious messages. The generated rules further specify actions for blocking subsequent computer attacks, such as blocking, modifying, or changing communications within the communications bus of the vehicle.

Systems and methods for ensuring data security. A MAC is computed sequentially for each selected message from a data log that contains at least two messages. To build a data block, a preset encryption key is used for a first message and an encryption key for the previous message is used for subsequent messages. A determination that the data log is compromised can be made based on MAC data block data and an independent calculation of a MAC.
