Integration of OTAmatic and Code Signing Server Products Delivers Turnkey Solution for Automakers to Implement Uptane Security Framework
Airbiquity, a global leader in connected vehicle services, announced it has joined forces with BlackBerry, a trusted provider of secure connectivity solutions, to enable automakers to deliver over-the-air (OTA) updates to vehicles and meet the industry’s highest security standard. By integrating Airbiquity’s OTAmatic Software Management Platform and the BlackBerry Certicom Code Signing Key Management Server, the two companies will empower OEMs to seamlessly adopt the Uptane Security Framework and address critical OTA security challenges including spoofing, unauthorized access, tampering, repudiation, man-in-the-middle, privilege escalation, and distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks as vehicles grow increasingly software-defined.
“Our collaboration with BlackBerry marks a significant milestone in Airbiquity’s mission to prioritize the security and privacy of connected vehicles,” said Keefe Leung, Vice President of Product Management at Airbiquity. “BlackBerry Certicom is a recognized leader in applied cryptography and key management, and our pre-integrated software gives automotive OEMs a best-in-class solution for reducing the development effort and expense of delivering safe, secure and timely OTA updates.”
