If you’re developing safety-critical automotive systems, chances are you’ve encountered the stringent requirements of ISO 26262, the standard governing functional safety for road vehicles. Achieving Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) compliance can be a daunting process, but wolfSSL has taken a significant step to support developers: the library now includes ISO 26262 documentation to aid in certification.
This development marks a major milestone for teams integrating wolfSSL to build secure and safe automotive systems. Here’s why.
What is ISO 26262 and ASIL?
ISO 26262 defines a structured approach for ensuring safety in automotive systems, from design to decommissioning. It includes ASIL levels (A-D) to assess risk, with ASIL D representing the highest safety requirements.
For cryptographic libraries like wolfSSL, demonstrating compliance requires detailed documentation, including failure mode analysis, software development lifecycle processes, and verification evidence.
How Does wolfSSL’s ISO 26262 Documentation Help?
With the provided ISO 26262 documentation, wolfSSL assists customers during the compliance process for automotive developers by offering:
- Pre-validated Artifacts: Access to the documentation allows developers to directly reference wolfSSL’s safety processes and testing in their safety case.
- Reduced Certification Time: By leveraging wolfSSL’s compliance resources, developers can focus on their application logic without reinventing the wheel for cryptographic layers.
- Confidence in Security and Safety: The inclusion of ISO 26262 ensures that wolfSSL adheres to rigorous safety and quality standards, providing a secure foundation for automotive systems.
Use Cases for WolfSSL in Automotive
WolfSSL’s compact size and high performance make it an excellent fit for embedded systems like:
- Secure Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication
- In-car infotainment systems
- Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)
- Electric vehicle (EV) battery management systems
