Hardware Protected Security Environment – Trusted Application Isolation Security ModelsJ3101-2_202511 (Current)11/17/2025
This information report identifies and evaluates isolation building blocks applicable to TA sandboxing within a HPSE. These building blocks can be used to support SAE J3101 TA requirements for sandboxing of TAs and secure communication between TAs. TAs must execute within their own trust domain to prevent compromise of the HPSE and other TAs. TA trust domain isolation strength may vary depending on the risk profile of the TA deployed, hence the requirement for isolation building blocks to match the risk profile. A multitenancy TA HPSE has a higher risk profile than multiple TAs from the same source (e.g., OEM). TA multitenancy must not compromise the security properties of the HPSE (the secure integration and execution of trusted multi-vendor code). In this report, we provide information on the following: HPSE TA use cases and risk profiles HPSE TA isolation building blocks for manufacturers Threat analysis to determine the effectiveness of isolation security models As the ECU E/E

A Comprehensive Study on the Effect of Compression Ratio and Pilot Injection Strategy on Alcohol Compression Ignition03-18-07-004411/13/2025
Achieving compression ignition (CI) with ethanol, a renewable fuel, comes with challenges because of its much lower cetane number compared to diesel. Additionally, ethanol’s high cooling potential and high volatility compared to diesel also offer challenges and opportunities to achieving robust, high-efficiency CI. Increasing the compression ratio (CR) and expanding the injection strategy beyond a conventional close-coupled pilot-main diesel injection strategy can help overcome these challenges. This work experimentally tested ethanol CI with several different injection strategies with CRs ranging from 16.3 to 22.3. The results showed that in homogeneous charge CI (HCCI), increasing the CR improved thermal efficiency but incurred a combustion efficiency penalty. In any CI concept, increasing the CR lowered the required intake temperature to achieve ignition. Using close-coupled pilot injections is an effective way to achieve ethanol CI, but it was also shown that HCCI-like intake

SAE TOMORROW TODAY - Why Vehicle Weight Matters More Than You Think1353611/12/2025
When it comes to cars, it's not just what's under the hood that matters -- it's what's on the scale. According to a new book, Critical Mass: The One Thing You Need to Know About Green Cars, a vehicle's damage to the planet can be boiled down to a simple formula: mass multiplied by distance traveled. EVs tend to be around 700 pounds heavier than comparable combustion vehicles which exacerbates tire pollution and road wear issues, creating significant environmental impact beyond just tailpipe emissions. Listen in as we sit down with authors Nick Molden, founder and CEO of Emissions Analytics, and Felix Leach, Associate Professor of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, to discuss their idea for a weight-based tax system that future-proofs tax revenue while nudging consumers toward lighter, more sustainable vehicles. We'd love to hear from you. Share your comments, questions and ideas for future topics and guests to podcast@sae.org. Don't forget to take a moment to follow SAE

Research on Light Transmission Technology of Wood Veneer for Automotive Interior Smart Surfaces15-19-01-000111/12/2025
Automotive wooden interiors are increasingly popular among consumers for their excellent appearance and texture. However, low light transmittance limits their application in automotive interior smart surfaces. This study explores light transmission technology for wood veneer in automotive interiors, proposing two solutions based on the properties of wood veneer: the light-transmitting veneer solution and the laser-engraved beacon solution. Both solutions were tested through production experiments to evaluate the light transmission effects and process feasibility. Experimental results show that the light-transmitting veneer solution significantly improves the light transmittance of wood veneers through material modification, but instability in structure and materials leads to the difficulty of presenting a better light transmission effect. In contrast, the laser-engraved beacon solution achieves clear and stable light transmission effects by directly processing light-transmitting
