[Cryptography] Security Standard for Safety Critical Software

[Adrian McCullagh]

Hi Everyone;


With the continued development of Safety Critical products that are dependent upon software does any one know of any standards that specifically deals with the security issues for safety critical software.


I am aware of IEC 61508 but this standards does not specifically deal with the security of such software even SIL 3 or SIL 4 do not as far as I can determine deal with security from hackers.


The reason for this request has arise from the recent hacker attack of the Jeep automobile.  With the continued development of autonomous vehicles and other devices it is something that I feel needs to be addressed before it is too late.


If there is not such a standard then does the group think that such as standard warrants being developed?
