Quantum-Resistant Cryptography for Automotive Cybersecurity: Implementing Post-Quantum Algorithms to Secure Next-Generation Autonomous and Connected Vehicles
Keywords:
Quantum-resistant cryptography, post-quantum cryptography, automotive cybersecurityAbstract
Next-generation autonomous and connected cars depend on digital communication networks and control systems, so cybersecurity becomes a major issue. Fast evolving quantum computing puts RSA, ECC, and AES under risk of compromising automobile network security. This work uses post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to discuss vehicle cybersecurity. Quantum computing compromises encryption standards, so this work offers strong PQC models for in-vehicle communication systems, V2V, and V2I.
Lattice-, hash-, code-, multivariate poisson-, and isogeny-based quantum-resistant cryptography is studied in this study. Their suitableness, performance, and fit into automobile cybersecurity systems are assessed. Since automotive systems demand low latency, real-time processing, limited computer resources, and long-term security, the advantages and drawbacks of every approach are evaluated. The paper also reveals computational cost, backward compatibility, and hybrid cryptographic configurations tough to handle between conventional and post-quantum systems.
