This is because the existing communication protocols (such as FlexRay) do not provide sufficiently high bandwidth requirements. The main challenge for the automotive industry will be to transfer and extend standard IP and Ethernet into vehicles and still fulfill the automotive requirements. The automotive gateway not only links two or more protocols and exchanges the data using each, but also monitors and ensures functional safety. This paper proposes a FlexRay\/Ethernet gateway by considering the development conditions of embedded systems and the security in the field of vehicle networking. The proposed method is implemented on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) system to evaluate running time and to analyze the overhead of the security mechanism. For one-to-one mapping logic, the execution times of FlexRay to the Ethernet path and Ethernet to FlexRay path are constant, at 4.67 \u03bcs and 6.71 \u03bcs, respectively. In particular, cybersecurity can be integrated as an extension of the gateway with low latency and power consumption.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20030641","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,23]],"date-time":"2020-01-23T10:36:02Z","timestamp":1579775762000},"page":"641","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Design of a FlexRay\/Ethernet Gateway and Security Mechanism for In-Vehicle Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Trong-Yen","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I-An","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ren-Hong","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"FlexRay Consortium (2020, January 23).
