5GAA Issues Statement of Intent on the Quantum Threat and Mitigation Strategies for the Automotive Sector

As part of its cooperation agreement with GSMA, 5GAA intends to work with the GSMA Post-Quantum Telco Networks (PQTN) Task Force to explore the impacts that quantum computing and the migration to post-quantum cryptography has on the connected automotive sector and its customers. Through this cooperation, 5GAA and the GSMA PQTN Task Force will gain insights to help both the telco and automotive industries strengthen the future of connected automotive security with post-quantum cryptography and crypto-agility. The rapid evolution of automotive E/E architecture and Software-Defined Vehicles has transformed modern vehicles into highly connected computing platforms, enabling advanced functionalities such as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, autonomous driving, and over-the-air updates. This increasing connectivity significantly expands the attack surface for bad actors, making vehicles more exposed to cyber threats.
