V2X technology has the potential to revolutionise road safety and traffic efficiency, but has to be protected against potential cyberattacks, data breaches, and unauthorised access. This has led to Autotalks partnering with Secure-IC, ensuring that its third-generation chipsets have robust security.

Autotalks decided to license Secure-IC’s Securyzr IP and integrate it into its chipsets and this integration has been further enhanced by Autotalks’ V2X Security firmware, leveraging the underlying hardware to create a state-of-the-art, certifiable V2X Hardware Security Module.

“The collaboration between Autotalks and Secure-IC signifies a shared commitment to advancing the security capabilities of V2X communication technology,” said Amos Freund, VP R&D at Autotalks. “By leveraging Secure-IC’s expertise in hardware security and certification services, Autotalks is looking to deliver enhanced security features in its third generation V2X chipset, further solidifying its position as a leader in V2X in general and in V2X cybersecurity specifically.”

According to Taro Clochard, Secure-IC’s CMO & VP of Sales, “Our Securyzr Hardware Security Modules will empower Autotalks’ cutting-edge chipsets with state-of-the-art security features, bolstering trust in connected vehicle ecosystems.”

Secure-IC is a provider of end-to-end cybersecurity solutions for embedded systems and connected objects. It provides silicon-proven protection technologies, integrated Secure Elements and security evaluation platforms to reach compliance with the highest level of certification for a variety of different markets.

The Securyzr global product range for Automotive (called Securyzr iSE_700 Series) is adapted for ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434 requirements (with certified products up to ASIL-D) as well as to comply with security certification schemes in Automotive, such asCommon Criteria EAL4+ PP0114 Car2Car (V2X).
