A Survey of Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration in Vehicles

Nils Lohmiller, Sabrina Kaniewski, Michael Menth +1 more

The advent of quantum computers makes asymmetric cryptographic algorithms insecure and vulnerable. A promising solution to ensure the continued security attributes of confidentiality, integrity, and availability is the use of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms. The adoption of quantum-safe algorithms takes place at a vastly different pace in different industries. In some industries, adoption processes are slow due to the required adaptation of regulations and standards. At the same time, long-lived products with non-PQC algorithms are more likely to become insecure during their lifetime. Vehicles are a prime example of long-lived products where the adoption of PQC proceeds slowly. When quantum computers are able to break relevant key lengths of asymmetric cryptography and, thus, render current vehicle systems insecure, vehicles that are developed and produced today will most likely remain in use. In this work, we provide a structured and comprehensive overview of the current migration state of PQC algorithms in the automotive area. We address use cases involving asymmetric cryptography in the automotive context that face the challenge of adapting PQC, such as internal vehicle networks, manufacturer-specific communication, and vehicle-to-everything communication. In addition, we review the standards concerning vehicle security and their relevance to PQC. Finally, we identify and discuss open research challenges regarding the adoption of PQC in the automotive domain and further steps towards quantum-safe vehicles.

$$\mathrm{Q(AI)}^2$$: Quantum Artificial Intelligence for the Automotive Industry

Tobias Stollenwerk, Somtapa Bhattacharya, Michele Cattelan +15 more

The goal of the project \(\mathrm{Q(AI)}^2\) was to acquire a broader basis of quantum computing enhanced AI and optimization algorithms for potential applications in the automotive industry. In particular, we strove to assess the potential for quantum advantage for specific use cases from the automotive industry. For this, we developed quantum algorithmic solutions tailored both to the available hardware as well as to the industrial problems at hand. In addition, we ensured industrial relevance of the investigated applications by the constitution of the consortium, involving all three large German car manufactures VW, Mercedes-Benz and BMW as well as Bosch as a central component supplier. Forschungszentrum Jülich and the German Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) provided the necessary expertise in AI and quantum computing methods.

Abstract Quantum computing promises to overcome computational limitations with better and faster solutions for optimization, simulation, and machine learning problems. Europe and Germany are in the process of successfully establishing research and funding programs with the objective to advance the technology’s ecosystem and industrialization, thereby ensuring digital sovereignty, security, and competitiveness. Such an ecosystem comprises hardware/software solution providers, system integrators, and users from research institutions, start-ups, and industry. The vision of the Quantum Technology and Application Consortium (QUTAC) is to establish and advance the quantum computing ecosystem, supporting the ambitious goals of the German government and various research programs. QUTAC is comprised of ten members representing different industries, in particular automotive manufacturing, chemical and pharmaceutical production, insurance, and technology. In this paper, we survey the current state of quantum computing in these sectors as well as the aerospace industry and identify the contributions of QUTAC to the ecosystem. We propose an application-centric approach for the industrialization of the technology based on proven business impact. This paper identifies 24 different use cases. By formalizing high-value use cases into well-described reference problems and benchmarks, we will guide technological progress and eventually commercialization. Our results will be beneficial to all ecosystem participants, including suppliers, system integrators, software developers, users, policymakers, funding program managers, and investors.
