This makes it the first solution available commercially to be embedded with security built into the core.

The company’s secure switch is able to handle several applications with several gigabits for OEM car manufacturers so as to deliver an in-car network which supports cameras, sensor fusion, safety and diagnostics. The embedded security technology is helpful in preventing vehicles from cases of cyberattacks which can compromise a safe and smooth driving experience.

The NVIDIA DRIVE Pegasus system has been made in such a way that it can handle Level 5 driverless cars and calculate more than 320 trillion operations in one second. The platform integrates sensor fusion; deep learning and surround vision so as to allow one understand what’s going on around the vehicle. The Marvell 88Q5050 layer 2 is built with secure IP which enables the safe and fast transmission of data for the connected vehicles.

Automotive Ethernet has been purposely designed to solve the problem of increasing risk of cyberattcks and is very secure compared to previous connectivity protocols that have been used in cars. The Marvell 88Q5050 solution uses a deep packet inspection (DPI) engine plus a trusted boot functionality which ensures a robust and trusted security level.
