Challenge

With various types of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication have been developed to meet the different use cases and scenarios, the security underpinning these communications needs to be consistent and effective across the full spectrum of V2X communications.

Until recently, V2X communication has been based primarily on the ITS-G5 protocol, a dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) standard using WiFi signals. During the data exchange, each party or device needs to verify their permissions.

Challenges in sumary:

Commercial:

Deploy the Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS)
Implement and offer secure, standardized solution for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication

Technical:

Secure creation and management of millions of digital certificates and keys

Developing and offering the certificate authority solutions that would incorporate the necessary new attributes into the digital certificates required for V2X communications
Entrust nShield HSMs are used to securely generate and store cryptographic keys. It also supports a formerly unprecedently high volume of cryptographic operations

Impact #1	ECTL (European Certificate Trust List) Level 0+ registered SaaS solution, supported by Entrust HSMs (HSMs). Background: The European Union’s European Certificate Trust List (ECTL) currently has three levels of trust (L0/L1/L2) in its Trust List Manager: L0 – Just a simple CA certificate is required, with no protection mandated L1 – The CA and generated certificates need to be audit ready L2 – The CA is audited based on EU C-ITS certificate policy
Impact #2	License, hardware and know-how for on-premises implementations.
