Explanation:

• verify_update_signature: This function simulates checking the update package's authenticity.
• download_update: Represents the process of downloading the update file from a remote server.
• backup_current_firmware: Backs up the current firmware before applying the update.
• install_update: Installs the downloaded update to the specified ECU.
• reboot_ecu: Reboots the ECU to apply the update.
• perform_ota_update: The main function that ties all the steps together and performs the over-the-air update.

This code is written in Python, which is widely used in automotive software development and for scripting tasks like these. The snippet is verbose and clear enough to be useful for animation purposes, demonstrating the steps involved in an OTA update.

Here's a Lorem Ipsum-style code snippet written in C++, which is a common language used in automotive software development. This example simulates a critical security feature: monitoring and verifying the integrity of the car's CAN bus messages to prevent malicious attacks.

// CAN Bus Integrity Monitoring (Lorem Ipsum Example)
// Language: C++

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>

// Placeholder for cryptographic functions
std::string computeMessageHash(const std::string& message) {
    // Simulate a hash computation
    return "hash_" + message;
}

bool verifyMessageHash(const std::string& message, const std::string& hash) {
    // Simulate hash verification
    return computeMessageHash(message) == hash;
}

void alertSecurityBreach() {
    std::cout << "[SECURITY ALERT] Potential tampering detected on CAN bus!" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Initiating safety protocols..." << std::endl;
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(2));
    std::cout << "Vehicle is now in safe mode." << std::endl;
}

void monitorCANBus(const std::vector<std::pair<std::string, std::string>>& canMessages) {
    std::cout << "Starting CAN bus integrity monitoring..." << std::endl;

    for (const auto& message : canMessages) {
        std::cout << "Received message: " << message.first << std::endl;
        
        if (!verifyMessageHash(message.first, message.second)) {
            alertSecurityBreach();
            return;
        }

        std::cout << "Message integrity verified." << std::endl;
    }

    std::cout << "All messages verified. No security breaches detected." << std::endl;
}

int main() {
    std::vector<std::pair<std::string, std::string>> canMessages = {
        {"LoremMessage1", "hash_LoremMessage1"},
        {"IpsumMessage2", "hash_IpsumMessage2"},
        {"DolorMessage3", "hash_DolorMessage3"},
        {"MaliciousMessage4", "wrong_hash_MaliciousMessage4"} // Example of a tampered message
    };

    monitorCANBus(canMessages);

    return 0;
}

Explanation:

• computeMessageHash: Simulates computing a hash of a CAN bus message, representing a cryptographic integrity check.
