The Quantum Threat to Vehicle Security
The automotive industry faces an unprecedented security challenge: quantum computers will soon break current cryptographic standards. With 60% of vehicles relying on vulnerable RSA/ECC encryption and an average lifespan of 15-20 years, millions of vehicles will remain on roads well into the quantum era.
Cybercriminals are already harvesting encrypted vehicle data today to decrypt it once quantum computers is available ("store now, decrypt later"), making it critical for automakers to implement quantum-resistant cryptography now.
Strategic Quantum Readiness with DuoKey
Automakers can't simply flip a switch when quantum computers arrive. This is why transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography requires building 2 foundational capabilities:
Complete Visibility: A comprehensive view of your entire encryption key and certificate landscapes across departments, from creation to expiry.
Crypto-Agility: The ability to swiftly deploy quantum-resistant algorithms, when available, across your infrastructure without operational disruption.
