- First-ever Car Connectivity Consortium Digital Key Applet
certification for NXP Semiconductors
- The latest certification program strengthens trust in the
security of next-generation vehicles
- Keysight further expands its security evaluation offering for
the automotive industry
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), device security
research lab, Riscure Security Solutions, has successfully
completed the first Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) Digital Key
Applet (DKA) certification for NXP® Semiconductors, a leading
provider of secure connectivity solutions for embedded
applications. The two companies worked together to evaluate and
certify NXP’s automotive Digital Key solution, helping further the
development of this new standard.
The CCC DKA program focuses on securing digital key solutions
for the automotive industry that safeguard the privacy and security
of users. This is achieved by implementing state-of-the-art public
key protocols, hardware-based key storage, and wireless
transmission standards to securely authorize user access in
proximity of the key with the vehicle.
The Digital Key Applet certification program enables the
automotive industry to build trust in the security of
next-generation vehicles by providing essential security assurance
and robustness against evolving threat landscapes - without placing
an extra burden on backend services. This also opens new
possibilities to expand vehicle functionality, such as car sharing,
car rentals, and more business applications.
By achieving the first-ever CCC DKA certification, Riscure
Security Solutions and NXP have taken a pivotal step in
spearheading the development and market adoption of CCC Digital Key
system. In addition, this certification showcases the ability to
develop products securely, meeting the highest levels of assurance
in the market, which can be compared to EAL 4 + AVA_VAN.5 used in
the Common Criteria program, ensuring the security of a critical
component that allows users access to their cars.
Digital Key Applet certification is the latest automotive
security standard supported by Keysight, in addition to UN R155 and
R156 regulations and others. Keysight fully supports its automotive
customers in their security journey by offering a wide range of
Automotive Testing Services, as well as providing necessary
solutions and expertise to test and improve the overall robustness
of automotive solutions.
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.”
