Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for SDV and AI-DV Platforms

Written By Jai Deo Tiwari

  • The Threat: Accelerated Q-Day estimates (2029–2035) mean vehicles built in 2026 face "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" risks for their classical RSA/ECC/ECDSA encrypted telemetry.

  • The Architecture Requirement: PQC must be treated as a core platform design decision rather than a post-launch patch.

  • The 2026 OEM Action Checklist:

    • Implement a CBOM program gate in 2026.

    • Mandate PQC-capable HSM/secure-enclave silicon (e.g., Infineon AURIX, NXP S32G, SEALSQ) in 2026–2027 RFQs.

    • Pilot hybrid TLS on a production channel.

    • Proactively establish an AI model signing and CBOM layer.

    • Align migration evidence with UNECE R155/156 and India's AIS-189/190 (phasing in from October 2026).

    • Fund PQC directly within the 2026–2028 platform refresh cycle.
