Keysight and NXP Set New Standard for Automotive Security with World’s First Digital Key Applet

02/14/2025

Keysight Technologies, Inc., device security research lab, Riscure Security Solutions, has successfully completed the first Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) Digital Key Applet (DKA) certification for NXP® Semiconductors, a leading provider of secure connectivity solutions for embedded applications. The two companies worked together to evaluate and certify NXP’s automotive Digital Key solution, helping further the development of this new standard.

The CCC DKA program focuses on securing digital key solutions for the automotive industry that safeguard the privacy and security of users. This is achieved by implementing state-of-the-art public key protocols, hardware-based key storage, and wireless transmission standards to securely authorize user access in proximity of the key with the vehicle.

The Digital Key Applet certification program enables the automotive industry to build trust in the security of next-generation vehicles by providing essential security assurance and robustness against evolving threat landscapes - without placing an extra burden on backend services. This also opens new possibilities to expand vehicle functionality, such as car sharing, car rentals, and more business applications.
