RESAuto focuses on the integration of CHERI architecture into automotive braking systems to enhance cyber resilience.
The project utilizes a test environment that combines power-critical sensors, artificial intelligence, control actuators, and complex distributed algorithms. This setup enables a thorough analysis of safety goals and the impact of CHERI-based solutions on system performance and security. By employing ARM’s Morello board, the project assesses the practicality of deploying CHERI technology within existing automotive supply chains, considering both technical feasibility and economic viability.

Brief
The RESAuto (Resilient Automotive) project is an Innovate UK-funded initiative aimed at enhancing the cyber resilience of automotive systems. By integrating an automotive braking system with a real-time monitoring and compliance framework, the project serves as a demonstrator for advanced security measures.
Outcomes
The anticipated outcomes of the RESAuto project include:
1. Enhanced Cyber Resilience: Demonstrating the effectiveness of CHERI architecture in mitigating memory-related vulnerabilities, thereby strengthening the security of automotive systems.
Activities
Relive the Highlights from AESIN’s Securing Vehicle Systems Workshop!
Automotive security presents unique challenges, demanding solutions that keep systems operational even under attack. At our recent Securing Vehicle Systems Workshop, industry experts gathered to discuss priorities, economic viability, and groundbreaking research from the RESAuto project on memory safety in vehicle electronics.
RESAuto Whitepaper: Hardware Memory Safety for Automotive Applications
In partnership with AESIN and Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick,has concluded its groundbreaking study on the potential of Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) to address memory safety vulnerabilities in automotive systems.
14/11 – ResAuto Event : Securing Vehicle Systems Workshop
AESIN attended the CYBER UK conference last month to see how the automotive industry featured at the UK government's flagship cyber security event. There were fascinating sessions on the use of AI for both attack and defence and a great talk by The Lazarus Heist podcaster.
