Riscure Security Solutions, the device security research lab of US-based test and measurement firm Keysight Technologies, has completed the first Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) Digital Key Applet (DKA) certification for NXP Semiconductors.

DKA expands Keysight’s security evaluation offering for the automotive industry, in addition to the UN R155 and R156 regulations and others.

The CCC DKA automotive security standard focuses on securing digital key systems for the automotive industry that safeguard the privacy and security of users. This includes implementing the latest public key protocols, hardware-based key storage, and wireless transmission standards to securely authorize access to users in the proximity of the vehicle.

“The Digital Key Applet certification program enables the automotive industry to build trust in the security of next-generation vehicles by providing essential security assurance and robustness against evolving threat landscapes—without placing an extra burden on backend services. This also opens new possibilities to expand vehicle functionality, such as car sharing, car rentals, and more business applications,” Keysight said.
