Device Attestation indicates that all parts and information must be authenticated at each access point and with each information exchange.
As digitization evolves, more connected and advanced automobiles are manufactured in production facilities with interconnected systems. This vast network of connections has increased not only innovation-led opportunities across the automobile industry but also has an impact on the expanding attack surfaces in connected automobiles.
As with any critical technology, the supply chain is a major concern. Security risks do not wait until the automobile is finished, they begin with the manufacturing of each individual part and device. Along with the production of parts and devices, interconnected manufacturing systems are the initial attack surfaces that require strong security.
Device Attestation enables securing the complete supply chain of automotive by providing unique digital identities to the parts, components, and manufacturing systems, allowing them to authenticate themselves wherever required.
Applications for Device Attestation
Key Injection
Secures payment processes and identities of smart devices by injecting keys generated by HSMs.
Tokenization
Replacing sensitive data with non-sensitive tokens enables secure business operations without sharing sensitive information.
General Purpose Hardware Security Modules
Enables key generation, storage, and exchange. Addresses various performance levels and physical security requirements while fulfilling compliance and regulatory mandates.
Public Key Infrastructures
Establishes trust relationships between connected entities such as devices, networks, applications and users. PKI is a long-proven technology providing the foundation for secure authentication, confidentiality in communication, and the integrity of data generated and exchanged.
