Using three different security layers, we ensure that the system in the backend can never intervene with safety-relevant functions in the vehicle.
Security layer 1:
The vehicle’s integrated communication module is equipped with a crash safe embedded SIM card. Therewith, vehicle data such as mileage and service intervals is carried via the mobile network to the vehicle backend. Data is transferred via a proprietary protocol point-to-point using a SSL-encrypted VPN channel.
Security layer 2:
The encrypted vehicle data and the likewise encrypted customer and driver data are merged on the connect business platform. The second security layer is responsible for data separation and an additional encryption with AES 256. Doing so, it is ensured that vehicle and driver data are always separate.
Security layer 3:
Using different frontends such as the connect business portal, the connect business driver’s app and other interfaces one can access data stored in the vehicle backend based on a role-right-matrix. The data transfer is SSL-encrypted as well.
