Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle unit and a method are provided for controlling vehicle functions with a microprocessor and connected memory, on which a main operating system, which forms the hardware interface for application programs, and user interactions are implemented. The microprocessor is configured in a microkernel architecture with separate partitions for a main operating system unit, a cryptographic unit and a supervision unit. The main operating system is set up in the main operating system unit, and software certificates are stored in the cryptographic unit and a verification program for verifying certificates and software packages is set up therein. A monitoring program that monitors the operation of the other partitions of the microkernel architecture is provided in the supervision unit.
