Vehicle and V2X security

• V2X security: a security module in vehicle-to-everything devices that signs and verifies messages, and a back end that issues, checks and revokes certificates. The PKI back end can be adapted to US, EU and Chinese certificate systems.
• In-vehicle systems security: embedded software for AUTOSAR and legacy platforms, designed to ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155, UN R156 and WP.29 rules.
• Plug and Charge security: PKI-based authentication for charging, manageable through a charging station management system.
• Testing tools: penetration, fuzz and specification tests whose results can be used for vehicle type approval, plus red team testing services.

Charging and regulation

The site says AUTOCRYPT secures communication between electric vehicles and chargers during Plug and Charge. Its charging station management system lets operators watch real-time operation and billing status at public stations. The company also publishes regulatory guidance on WP.29 and offers a free Plug and Charge interoperability test environment for backend testing. Its products are described as designed in compliance with ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155, UN R156 and GB/T standards.
