Secure MCUs for automotive security and connectivity

With connectivity and electro-mobility trends driving growth in the automotive industry, new vehicles integrate sophisticated systems for ADAS, telematics, infotainment, electro-mobility, car access and other applications to optimize maintenance, enhance driving, and improve user experience. Secure MCUs ensure the confidentiality and authenticity of sensitive data and secure communication between vehicles and external systems. NFC readers enable contactless power and data transfers between vehicle systems and NFC-enabled user devices. ST provides automotive-grade secure MCUs and NFC readers to OEMs and tier-1 suppliers for cars that are more secure and better connected.
