On May 4, 2023, AUTOCRYPT, an automotive cybersecurity and mobility solutions company, released a comprehensive key management solution called “AutoCrypt KEY,” aimed at helping OEMs and suppliers manage all cryptographic keys for connected and electric vehicles.
Connected and electric vehicles generate vast amounts of data that need to be securely transmitted and stored. The use of cryptographic keys is essential in establishing trust between vehicle hardware, users, and services in the production process. AutoCrypt KEY is a robust key management system that provides all the features needed for automotive production, including symmetric key, asymmetric key, public key infrastructure (PKI), hardware security module (HSM) key storage, Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG), encryption, certification, and digital signature.
AutoCrypt KEY also helps OEMs and tier suppliers establish an integrated key management framework across the supply chain, maximizing security and efficiency. The solution has already been adopted by major manufacturers of battery management systems and ADAS.
Daniel ES Kim, CEO of AUTOCRYPT, said, “With more and more advanced systems and components, cybersecurity now begins even prior to the automotive assembly line, with more and more component makers utilizing cryptographic keys in the production process. AutoCrypt KEY guides OEMs and suppliers in establishing a secure and efficient key-based security architecture.”
In addition to the solution, AUTOCRYPT provides consulting services to clients on regulatory and standard compliance.
Recommendations:
AutoCrypt KEY is a welcome addition to the automotive industry, which is increasingly relying on connected and electric vehicles. As cyber-attacks on vehicles continue to rise, the industry needs to prioritize security, and key management is a critical component of a secure and efficient system. By implementing AutoCrypt KEY, automotive companies can ensure that all their cryptographic keys are safe and secure throughout the supply chain, from production to usage.
However, cybersecurity is an ongoing issue, and companies must continue to invest in security measures to stay ahead of threats. Automotive companies must prioritize security in every aspect of their business, and AutoCrypt KEY is an excellent step towards achieving that goal.
