PQC for Vehicle-to-Everything Communication Protocols

Half day In person or online

Technical workshop for V2X security engineers and automotive standards delegates. Covers the quantum cryptographic exposure of DSRC and C-V2X protocols, IEEE 1609.2 certificate management for V2X PKI, and ETSI ITS security architecture under post-quantum threat. Addresses how the ETSI TC ITS and ISO/TC 204 standards bodies are approaching PQC integration, and migration timelines relative to the vehicle development cycle.
