C-ITS for the European Commission
The challenge for the European Commission
Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) encompass a network of technologies that enable seamless communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and other road users, improving traffic safety, efficiency, and mobility. To ensure effectiveness, C-ITS relies on standardization and centralized control. In the European Union, this responsibility falls to the Joint Research Centre, the European Commission’s science and knowledge service. C-ITS is expected to play a pivotal role in the future of transportation, with the European Commission and the Joint Research Centre at the forefront of its development and implementation.
A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is essential for the functioning of any C-ITS system. The C-ITS PKI, managed by the Joint Research Centre, serves as the security foundation for all C-ITS operations across Europe.
Our solution for the European Commission
In 2020, the Joint Research Centre selected Eviden Digital Identity (then Atos) to deploy and manage its C-ITS PKI. The solution implemented for this purpose is the IDnomic C-ITS PKI. As a result, the IDnomic C-ITS PKI has become the central trust anchor for C-ITS users across Europe, including governments, public and private road authorities, and car manufacturers. These entities rely on it to authenticate their connected stations and secure their communications.
The C-ITS PKI solution provided by Eviden Digital Identity is hosted by Orange Business Services in France. It is the first C-ITS-compliant PKI to issue digital certificates for large-scale, real-world operations, moving beyond pilot projects to support everyday use.
