Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so you can combine it with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Vector CANoe, Wireshark, GNU Radio, Ansys HFSS and MATLAB, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures for vulnerability assessment in a controlled environment, range testing of proximity keys and risk analysis of connected systems. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final project.

Standards covered: UN/ECE Regulation No. 62, ISO/SAE 21434, Directive 2014/53/EU, Delegated Regulation (EU) No 44/2014, ETSI EN 300 330, ETSI EN 300 220, Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of UN/ECE Regulation No. 62, ISO/SAE 21434 and Directive 2014/53/EU applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Vector CANoe, Wireshark, GNU Radio, Ansys HFSS and MATLAB, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:a secure electronic architecture for a chosen motorcycle model, from threat analysis to validation plan and regulatory compliance, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
Capstone project

Build it end to end

Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.

Choose the motorcycle
Select a motorcycle model and map its current anti-theft and keyless systems.
Analyse threats
Identify attack paths such as relay, cloning and CAN injection and rate their risk.
Propose a secure architecture
Define countermeasures such as UWB ranging, encryption and a secure gateway, and select components.
Plan testing and compliance
Draw up the validation plan and check compliance with UN/ECE R62 and ISO/SAE 21434.
Final project
Present the complete security architecture with cost, user experience analysis and report.
