Cryptography and quantum computingOnce considered science fiction, Quantum Computing (QC) appears set to make its entrance in the coming decade. Why vehicles are highly susceptible to quantum computing risksModern vehicles are connected to the outside world in many ways and for a variety of reasons. Mitigating the quantum computing risk in the automotive landscapeNow that we’ve seen that the danger is real, let’s discuss possible mitigation measures. In cases where adding PQC schemes is not possible, consider complementing asymmetric cryptographic schemes with symmetric schemes, such as HMAC for authentication. Accordingly, automotive players should begin to think about the possible effects of Quantum Computing ASAP.
