Quantum-Resistance and Efficiency of Communications in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

NXM实验室正在为联网和自动驾驶汽车制造安全的物联网(IoT)设备。这些设备很小，包含敏感信息，因此确保这些设备在汽车的整个生命周期内保持安全至关重要。在他们的解决方案中，NXM还使用了基于区块链的身份验证机制。物联网和区块链技术都使用加密技术来确保信息的机密性和完整性，但目前部署的加密标准很容易受到未来量子计算机的攻击。因此，该项目旨在设计技术，使用经典和量子抵抗加密方法的组合，使物联网和区块链具有量子抵抗能力。随着物联网世界越来越接近现实，确保其通信和数据安全的必要性变得越来越重要。随着量子计算机变得更加复杂和强大，几代设备将已经制造出来并投入使用。因此，目前保护物联网设备免受未来的量子攻击是当务之急。该项目的另一个方面侧重于在联网车辆之间进行更有效和高效的通信战略，这些战略将与量子抵抗技术一起开发，并将确保NXM技术未来的安全和效率。

NXM Labs is making secure Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices for connected and autonomous vehicles. These devices are small and contain sensitive information and it is therefore critical to ensure these devices remain secure for the lifetime of the car. In their solution, NXM also uses a blockchain based authentication mechanism. Both IoT and blockchain technologies use encryption techniques for confidentiality and integrity of the information, but the currently deployed encryption standards are vulnerable against future quantum computers. Therefore, this project aims at designing techniques to make IoT and blockchain quantum-resistant using a combination of classical and quantum resistant cryptographic approaches. As an IoT world becomes closer to reality, the necessity of ensuring the security of its communication and data becomes increasingly important. Generations of devices will have been made and be in use while quantum computers become more sophisticated and powerful. As such, protecting IoT devices against future quantum attacks in the present is a priority. Another aspect of this project focuses more effective and efficient strategies for communications among connected vehicles that will be developed alongside the quantum-resistant technologies and will ensure the future security and efficiency of NXM's technologies moving forward.
