OmniAir To Host Free V2X Virtual Security Testing Sessions
OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, will host a free V2X virtual security testing sessions for C-V2X equipment manufacturers during the month of March.
This event is designed to help participating testing teams ensure their equipment is compliant with industry security standards and is interoperable. This testing will help teams to prepare for more extensive V2X security testing at the OmniAir Florida Plugfest in May.
This virtual V2X security testing sessions will take place beginning March 17th through the end of the month. Participating teams will be able to schedule confidential, one-on-one testing sessions with leading SCMS/PKI security providers and cybersecurity experts from around the world, including:
AUTOCRYPT, INTEGRITY Security Services, Microsec, and SaesolTech
The event will focus on managing the enrollment of security certificates for the Security Credentialing Management System (SCMS) by implementing the IEEE 1609.2.1 Std. TM for On-Board Units (OBU), Roadside Units (RSU), modules, and those running applications for connected vehicle safety messages.
What is the Security Credential Management System?
The Security Credential Management System (SCMS) is a unique security infrastructure that enables multiple vendors to operate in a safety-critical environment. Unlike conventional PKI systems that only support peer-to-peer connections, the SCMS architecture allows multiple devices from different vendors to exchange authenticated messages while preserving the privacy of vehicle owners.
How do vendors interface with the SCMS?
The standard interface devices use to communicate with the SCMS providers are defined by IEEE 1609.2.1, standard, published in 2022. The OmniAir test suite provides a consistent set of validation tests that confirm interoperability and compliance with this standard. Connected vehicle infrastructure operators can be confident that OmniAir Certified® devices can be successfully deployed with a compliant SCMS provider.
What is 1609.2.1?
It contains certificate management protocols that support the provisioning and management of digital certificates, as specified in IEEE Std 1609.2 TM. It ensures the end entities that devices use digital certificates to authorize application activities.
What Happens During a Test Session?
Participating vendors will have the opportunity for one-on-one test sessions with SCMS providers to help ensure readiness for certification and deployment. The private testing session is designed to familiarize vendors with relevant standards and OmniAir security test cases.
Participating vendors will learn from SCMS providers how to:
- Remotely accessing and loading test certificates.
- Enroll and authorize by the SCMS provider.
- Participants can also run through a select series of OmniAir’s security-focused 764b test specifications.
- Prepare your device for OmniAir certification.
The testing event will allow participants time between testing with each SCMS service provider to make any adjustments required to progress through the test process.
This process accurately emulated real-world security interactions between connected vehicles and security portals. For those passing through multiple security interactions, provides device manufacturers confidence that they are ready for OmniAir Certification and that they can deploy a secure OBU or RSU.
As with OmniAir Plugfests, only anonymized, aggregated test results will be published.
