Abstract: A method for processing data stored in a memory unit. The method includes the following steps: ascertaining a randomly or pseudo-randomly formed test pattern, which characterizes at least one first subarea of a memory area of the memory unit, forming, as a function of the test pattern, a test variable associated with data stored in the at least one first subarea.

Abstract: A method for handling an anomaly of data, in particular in a motor vehicle. At least one sensor obtains data for the anomaly detection. The sensor examines the obtained data for anomalies, and generates an event as a function of the associated data when an anomaly is detected. It is decided whether the event is further processed, in particular stored and/or further communicated, at least in part.

Abstract: A method for handling an anomaly of data, in particular in a motor vehicle, is provided. At least one sensor obtains data for the anomaly detection. The sensor examines the obtained data for anomalies, and generates an event as a function of the associated data when an anomaly is detected. An event report is generated as a function of the event. The event report includes at least one variable that changes for each event report and/or is cyclically sent.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method which identifies the possibility of manipulation of the software of a first component of a plurality of components of an on-board network of a vehicle in a central device for mitigating software manipulation. A central device for mitigating manipulation is designed to mitigate software manipulation in each of the plurality of components in the on-board network. The method includes initiation of a countermeasure for mitigating manipulation of the first component by the central device for detecting and mitigating manipulation.

Abstract: A method for operating a computing device for a control unit of a motor vehicle. The computing device including a processor core, and is configured to control an exchange of data between a connectivity zone and a security zone. The security zone includes at least one component which is necessary to drive the vehicle and has an elevated relevance with regard to safety. The connectivity zone including at least one component whose operation requires communication outside of the vehicle but is not required to drive the vehicle and does not have an elevated relevance with regard to safety. At least one first program executable by the computing device is assigned to a non-trustworthy zone, and at least one further program is assigned to a trustworthy zone. The component of the connectivity zone is assigned to the non-trustworthy zone, and the component of the security zone being assigned to the trustworthy zone.
