As the automotive industry accelerates towards the adoption of physical AI, robotics, and increasingly autonomous systems, regulatory requirements — such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) (Link) — are expanding to cover all layers of connected mobility. In response, AUTOCRYPT aims to provide robust, scalable cybersecurity infrastructure that enables OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to seamlessly embed security across this growing ecosystem.  

Foundational Mobility Infrastructure

Throughout the vehicle lifecycle, key management remains one of the most fundamental yet critical security components. However, today’s automotive supply chain relies on a wide range of cryptographic keys, each serving different purposes, using distinct algorithms, and managed by multiple entities. Against this backdrop, the need for a unified key and certificate management system has become increasingly apparent.  

On the first day of CES 2026, AUTOCRYPT introduced a standardized infrastructure designed to enable efficient deployment of key management systems across vehicles and adjacent industries, through the launch of “Automotive-CIS (Cybersecurity Infrastructure Standard) (Link).”
