1. An information processing architecture for implementation in a vehicle, comprising:
a software segregation unit which is configured to provide a first security domain and a second security domain which are assigned in each case to different operational areas of the vehicle and have their own data processing environments which are segregated from one another to run a multiplicity of computer applications;
wherein the software segregation unit is further designed to provide a synchronization instance;
wherein the synchronization instance has a central dataset which is synchronized with data generated in the respective security domains independently from one another by means of bidirectional data exchange and is selectively readable by both security domains, thereby allowing indirect data exchange between the first security domain and the second security domain, wherein the exchanged data comprises weather conditions, reports on engine and system performance, maintenance information, and sensor measurements and information; and
wherein the synchronization instance exchanges data with the security domains based on one or more sets of rules which define access permissions for at least one of reading or writing the data or filter rules for the data exchange separately for the security domains.
