Quantum-Safe Silicon: Co-Engineering Safe & Secure PQC for AI-Driven Vehicles (Q13c)
As collision-avoidance systems become the most time-critical and safety-relevant functions in autonomous vehicles, the shift to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) must be handled with care and ensure compliance with ISO 26262 functional safety, ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity, and the emerging ISO/PAS 8800 AI safety expectations. This talk explores how hardware-based PQC implementations deliver deterministic performance, strong key isolation, and trust anchors for V2X communication and real-time decision pipelines. Using automotive scenarios like emergency messaging and redundant control paths, the speakers highlight where quantum-safe trust is essential and how hardware support mitigates risks. Attendees will gain a framework for designing certifiable, quantum-safe solutions for next-generation mobility.
