Automotive crypto agility gives long-lived vehicle ECUs a way to adopt post-quantum algorithms even when their hardware accelerators cannot change.
Automotive crypto agility is becoming a practical requirement for software-defined vehicles, whose electronic control units (ECUs) may remain in service for up to 15 years while cryptographic standards continue to change. In this Elektor TV clip from Elektor Academy Pro’s Post-Quantum Cryptography conference, Dr. Claude-Pascal Stöber-Schmidt of IAV explains why security software must be as updatable as the vehicle functions it protects. The timing problem echoes an earlier Elektor clip on migration planning: Long-lived embedded systems have to prepare before the quantum threat becomes…
