Securing the Internet of Things in electric vehicles • EVreporter

In this article, Ruchin Kumar, Vice President – South Asia, Futurex, explains how EV manufacturers deploy cryptography to secure IoT devices in their vehicles. Electric vehicles and IoT devicesEssentially, an EV’s motor converts electrical energy stored in the batteries into mechanical energy to move the wheels. Each asymmetric key pair consists of a public key that encrypts data and a private key that decrypts it. Deploying cryptography for electric vehiclesManufacturers of electric vehicles have to secure countless IoT devices around the world. They are also used to validate each other, such as when the private key authenticates the public key in an asymmetric pair.
