This white paper predicts that future vehicles can evolve into a platform that performs various intelligent software functions such as real-time traffic management beyond simple means of transportation.
The white paper focuses on Verifiable Credentials (VC) and explains that this technology can be a key means of enhancing the security and data protection of connected mobility applications.
Continental presented practical ways to implement reliable communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and digital services based on VC through this white paper. This is evaluated as an essential step for the implementation of safer software-based mobility.
VC can digitize and express various data such as vehicle and user information in an encrypted standard format, uniquely identifying each subject and enhancing the reliability of information. This white paper was written as part of the cooperative project 'GAIA-X 4 AGEDA', which is a sub-project of 'GAIA-X 4 Future Mobility', in which public funds were invested.
Continental is playing a leading role in responding to key issues of connectivity and digitalization in the automotive industry in the project, as well as working with key partners in industry and academia.
On the other hand, as mobility applications emerge as a key element of the future mobile environment, practical challenges arise in the process of integrating them into vehicles, linking them to open ecosystems, and managing identity and data in a decentralized manner.
As a result, a systematic framework is required to smoothly integrate new applications into vehicles while meeting high levels of security and data protection standards. "According to in-house research, VC is a promising technology that supports the safer implementation of mobility services in vehicles," said Nino Romano, chief technology officer of Continental Automotive. "It enables a high level of security and data protection performance, especially when using SDV as a platform for executing mobility services."
This white paper, published by Continental, introduces effective ways to use the vehicle's data and features more safely and flexibly through VC and the key factors that support it. Furthermore, we highlight that systematic frameworks can play an important role in future mobility environments, explaining that these concepts can be effectively integrated into the state-of-the-art architecture of SDVs.
SDV is a key technology for realizing future mobility as part of the cloud ecosystem, said CTO Romano. "If a reliable digital framework is established, this vision can become a reality."
