PlugFest by the Bay 2017 – Certificate Instructions

Instructions for Obtaining Enrollment and Pseudonym Certificates for the OmniAir PlugFest in October 2017
Version 1.1

 

INTEGRITY Security Services (ISS), Inc., is supplying test Enrollment Certificates and Pseudonym Certificates to End
Entity OBU and RSU devices participating in OmniAir’s PlugFest this October. A key objective of this PlugFest is to
verify the ability of an End Entity (EE) to obtain these certificates from the SCMS using the CAMP-defined
protocols.

To receive V2X certificates for OmniAir PlugFest End Entity (EE) companies must:
1. Register on the ISS V2X website (www.ghsiss.com/v2x ) to obtain access to test certificates.

2. Implement the CAMP-specified EE-to-SCMS message protocol and subsequent SCMS responses
The Enrollment Certificate Signing Request (SignedEeEnrollmentCertRequest) and subsequent SCMS
Response (SignedEeEnrollmentCertResponse) is found at:
https://stash.campllc.org/projects/SCMS/repos/scms-asn/browse/scms-protocol.asn?at=release/1.2.1
(see Line 600 & 613). Note: if your implementation does not support the SignedEeEnrollmentCertResponse,
we will return the components themselves in separate files as
enrollment.oer and enrollment.s.

3. Issue commands to obtain an Enrollment Certificate and email to support@isscms.com. ISS will respond by
email with the SCMS enrollment response information (Enrollment Certificate, enrollment reconstruction
value, local certificate chain file and local policy file, etc).

4. Once an Enrollment Certificate is obtained, a Pseudonym Certificate request can be made directly to the ISS
Certificate Management Service. This request and the subsequent SCMS Response may be found at the same
URL, line 709 (SignedPseudonymCertProvisioningRequest) and the response is Line 715
(SignedPseudonymCertProvisioningAck).

If your EE doesn’t implement these protocols, ISS still can provide you with test bundles containing private keys,
public keys and associated pseudonym certificates using the same process as last May’s PlugFest at SwRI. Details
on this process may be found in the FAQ on the website once you have registered for PlugFest test certificates at
www.ghsiss.com/v2x .

7LAYERS FIRST AUTHORIZED TEST LABORATORY FOR DSRC-V2X TECHNOLOGY
Conformance Certification in Emerging Connected Vehicle and Automation Market

Irvine, California, 7th September 2017: 7layers has been authorized by the OmniAir Consortium to become the first OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratory (OATL) for Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) based Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology. This makes 7layers part of OmniAir’s commercial Connected Vehicle certification program, launching October 1, 2017.

OmniAir’s certification program provides third party accredited laboratory testing and validation of DSRC-based V2X devices to ensure that device manufacturers, suppliers, and automotive OEMs entering the V2X market develop products that conform to industry protocol standards and specifications, to bring about trusted device communications.

7layers, a Bureau Veritas Group company, runs engineering and test centers specializing in wireless technologies. 7layers supports the development, testing, and market access processes of connected devices, as well as the set-up and maintenance of smart IoT services through its test products and services. With facilities in North America, Europe and Asia, 7layers works with manufacturers, network operators, technology developers and organizations supporting wireless technologies across multiple industries including the fast-growing automotive market with its Vehicle-to-Everything applications. As a member of OmniAir, 7layers participated in developing the Connected Vehicle Next Stage Certification Program, initiated by the USDOT.

“Independent, third party certification for interoperable devices is a vital step that reveals a level of readiness and maturity of the technology,” said OmniAir Consortium Executive Director Jason Conley. “Security certificate authorities are also looking at third party certification to serve as a litmus test deciding which devices will receive production certificates.”

“7layers is thrilled to be selected as the first OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratory for the Connected Vehicle certification program,” remarked CEO Fernando Rodríguez of 7layers, Inc. “We expect this program to be an important step in making our roads safer and vehicle transport more efficient and environmentally friendly. As an OATL, 7layers now has the chance to support industry innovation through certification, by letting good quality products stand out in the V2X market.”
