Automotive
Connected, electric, autonomous and software-defined vehicles depend on trusted digital identities and secure communications. Every vehicle contains a growing number of electronic control units, processors, sensors and software components that must communicate securely with the vehicle, the manufacturer, external infrastructure and cloud services.
WISeKey provides automotive manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers and mobility-platform operators with a hardware-to-cloud security architecture. Unique cryptographic identities can be provisioned into semiconductors or vehicle components during manufacturing and managed throughout the complete lifecycle of the vehicle.
This enables trusted authentication of vehicles and components, encrypted communications, secure software updates, protection of charging systems and verification that replacement parts are genuine and authorized.
