What is KMS/PKS
KMS stands for Key Management Solution and PKS stands for Production Key Server, which is a solution for writing and managing secure keys at manufacturing plants. Why would you need such a solution in the first place?
To defend against cyber-attacks, the cryptographic keying material required for secure data exchange must be safely and compliantly introduced into the ECUs.ECUs for different vehicle platforms each have OEM-specific keying material and certificates. Must be pre-implemented. ESCRYPT's KMS/PKS solution gives OEMs control over complex cryptographic material distribution mechanisms, from secure key management, secure storage, writing key material to ECUs, recording and verification. will be
Product Summary
customer benefits
- Combining a standard KMS as a central backend with a decentralized PKS to communicate with the KMS installed at the manufacturing facility provides an effective solution
- The process of writing your own key material into OEM-specific ECUs can be done entirely within the ECU supplier's existing production infrastructure
- Data packets containing key material provided by individual OEMs are sent to the KMS, where the key material is stored centrally, securely transferred to each manufacturing site as needed, and stored ready-to-use in the PKS. Ru
- PKS is protected from unauthorized access by both robust and powerful hardware security modules (HSMs) and security software on the servers themselves
- PKS only connects to the backend to synchronize or update data and to create sufficient buffers for encrypted data, so it does not rely on constant connectivity to trigger potential online attacks.
- Users are free to decide how often to connect with the KMS backend according to their needs
