Securing the Future of Connected Vehicles with KeyScaler

 

As vehicles become increasingly connected, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more critical. KeyScaler offers a comprehensive solution for connected vehicle security, providing automotive manufacturers, fleet operators, and service providers with the tools and capabilities needed to protect vehicles, drivers, and passengers from cyber threats.

PKI Management For Connected Cars

Situation

A major vehicle manufacturer utilizes PKI Certificates for vehicle identity, authentication to network services, and data encryption. ​Throughout the vehicle’s lifetime ownership needs to be securely transferred if the vehicle is sold or leased to a new owner, requiring a new certificate to be securely provisioned to the vehicle. ​

This requires PKI-based security and Automated Identity Lifecycle Management for the vehicle and its connected applications.​

 

Solution

Device Authority’s KeyScaler is used to provide:

  • PKI Services for IoT with Automated Identity Lifecycle Management including certificate provisioning, renewals, and revocations for connected vehicles​
  • KeyScaler trust anchor technology for vehicle Telematics Control Unit (TCU)​
  • KeyScaler Security Suite for automated integration with Microsoft Azure IoT and Connected Vehicle Platforms​

Summary

Challenge

Securing connected vehicles poses complex security challenges stemming from vulnerabilities across various entry points, such as infotainment systems and wireless interfaces, which cybercriminals can exploit to compromise vehicle safety and performance. These challenges include software and firmware vulnerabilities, inadequate authentication and authorization mechanisms, insufficient encryption and data protection measures, and privacy concerns surrounding the collection and sharing of sensitive vehicle data. Additionally, the lack of secure update mechanisms and supply chain risks further exacerbate security vulnerabilities, necessitating a comprehensive approach to connected vehicle security encompassing robust cybersecurity measures, secure software development practices, strong authentication and access controls, encryption solutions, privacy-enhancing technologies, and supply chain security measures to mitigate risks and safeguard the integrity and security of connected vehicle systems and data
