Man-in-the-middle -  Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks are where a person or software sits in the middle of communication between two parties. For example between your computer and your bank. Web MITM attacks are often performed by self-signed root certificates where someone like a hotel or computer manufacturers certifies the identity of both parties without actually having the authority. Often this is done for advertising purposes to either monitor behavior or inject ads into a data stream. It also exposes any of the data that is supposedly securely encrypted, like your bank credentials.

MISRA -  MISRA or Motor Industry Software Reliability Association is a set of programming guidelines for C and C++ software development. The goal of the guidelines is to help reduce risky code upfront by avoiding language constructs that are more prone to bugs. This will increase automotive reliability, safety and quality.
