Status of the Development of ISO/SAE 21434

With the ongoing trend to incorporate new functionalities and functions based on the connectivity of vehicles, cybersecurity is becoming an important issue in the vehicle development lifecycle. While the first approaches to address this topic were based on research projects or adaptions of existing concepts of other domains, there is now a new ongoing activity to develop ISO/SAE 21434 a cybersecurity engineering standard for road vehicles. This standard addresses the complete lifecycle from development and production via operation and maintenance up to the decommissioning of the vehicles. We give an overview about the ongoing development, discuss potential contents and objectives and summarize time plan and open points.
