NXP Semiconductors, has benefited from Keysight Technologies Riscure Security Solutions’ successful completion of the first Car connection Consortium (CCC) Digital Key Applet (DKA) certification. Together, the two businesses evaluate and certify NXP’s automotive Digital Key solution, contributing to the advancement of this new standard.
The goal of the CCC DKA program is develop to secure automotive digital key solutions while protecting user security and privacy. Modern public key protocols, hardware-based key storage, and wireless transmission standards are used to securely authorize user access while the key is in close proximity to the car.
What is Digital Key Applet Certification Program
By offering vital security assurance and resilience against robust threat environments, the Digital Key Applet certification program helps the automotive industry to develop confidence in the security of next-generation vehicles without adding undue strain to backend services. Additionally, this creates new opportunities to increase the usefulness of vehicles, including car sharing, auto rentals, and additional commercial applications.
Riscure Security Solutions and NXP have made a significant achievement by being the first companies to achieve the CCC DKA certification, which is being stated as a crucial milestone in advancing the development and commercialization of the CCC Digital Key system. Furthermore, this CCC DKA certification demonstrates the capacity to create products that are secure and meet the highest standards of assurance available in the market. This certification is comparable to the Common Criteria program’s use of EAL 4 + AVA_VAN.5, which guarantees the security of a crucial component that gives users access to their cars.
The newest automotive security standard that Keysight supports, in addition to UN R155 and R156 regulations and others, is Digital Key Applet certification. In addition to delivering a broad variety of Automotive Testing Services, Keysight also offers the solutions and knowledge required to test and enhance the overall robustness of automotive systems, therefore completely supporting its automotive customers in their security journey.
Georg Stütz, Head of IoT and Automotive Certification, NXP, said: “Industry standards like the CCC are crucial to the industry, helping to build consumer trust with interoperability, security and a consistent user experience. By certifying a digital key applet, NXP is taking the next step in advancing secure car access across the ecosystem. NXP has worked with Riscure Security Solutions over many years for security testing and certification across different sectors and would once again like to thank Keysight’s Riscure Security Solutions for their expertise and support in helping NXP achieve this certification milestone.”
Marc Witteman, Director of the Device Security Research Lab at Keysight, said:“This achievement marks a significant step in the establishment of the CCC certification program, positioning both Keysight and NXP at the forefront of this groundbreaking development. This further demonstrates how Keysight enables automotive vendors to test and certify their solutions against the most stringent security requirements.”
