A method for protection from cyber attacks in a CAN (Controller Area Network), of a vehicle including the steps of selecting periodic messages having a transmission periodicity, grouping the periodic messages, and performing an analysis of messages of the nodes that exchange the received periodic messages, which includes obtaining times of arrival at the respective nodes of a set of periodic messages that have the same message identifier, computing average-offset values over successive subsets, of a given number of messages, accumulating the average-offset values for each identifier to obtain accumulated-offset values, identifying linear parameters by computing an angular coefficient, of a regression, and an intercept, or identification error, computing a correlation coefficient of the average offset of pairs of messages identified as coming from the same node, determining whether the correlation coefficient is higher than a first given threshold, determining whether the angular coefficient between two consecutive messages with the same identifier is higher than a second given threshold, determining whether the intercept between two consecutive messages is higher than a third given threshold, and supplying the results of these determinations to a message-classification operation.

Method for protection from cyber attacks to a vehicle based upon time analysis, and corresponding device

A method for protection from cyber attacks in a communication network of a vehicle comprising: the steps of building sets of dominant voltage measurements for each message identifier associated to a message that is passing; extracting statistical features; supplying the statistical features for each message identifier that are available at each instant at input to a neural network of a pattern-recognition type; carrying out an operation of classification, or pattern recognition, supplying a prediction of a membership class corresponding to a given node on the basis of the statistical features supplied at input; evaluating whether the prediction supplied by the neural network corresponds to a given node that allows as admissible message identifier the message identifier at input and, if it does not, signalling an anomaly for the message identifier; and evaluating whether a number of anomalies signalled for said message identifier exceeds a given threshold.

A multiple output DC-DC converter comprises a transformer, a primary circuit, a plurality of secondary circuits, and a controller. The transformer has a primary and at least one secondary winding. The primary circuit connects to a DC power supply source and includes the primary winding of the transformer and a primary switch connected in series. The plurality of secondary circuits includes the at least one secondary winding of the transformer, wherein each secondary circuit provides a DC power supply output, and at least one of the secondary circuits has a secondary switch. The controller monitors an output signal of each secondary circuit and controls operation of the primary and secondary switches based on the monitored signals. The controller co-ordinates operation of the secondary switch with the primary switch, such that the primary switch and the secondary switch are switched on simultaneously, or with a controlled offset.

A router includes a plurality of virtual networks, a plurality of output links, at least one decoder and arbitration circuitry. Each virtual network has a plurality of virtual network inputs and a plurality of virtual network outputs. Each virtual network output is associated with an output link. The decoder decodes a header of a data unit received on a virtual network of one of the virtual network inputs. The decoder generates a first request and a second request. The first request is for the allocation of a virtual network output of the virtual network to the virtual network input. The second request is for the allocation of an output link associated with the virtual network output to the virtual network output. The arbitration circuitry performs arbitration of the first request and arbitration of the second request in parallel.
