IDnomic C-ITS PKI: Reinforcing security & privacy

Native Interoperability

The PKI ensures seamless interoperability without any additional integration work among all harmonized C-ITS services at national and European level. It facilitates cross-compatibility between complex systems by different operators.

Communication Security

Digital certificates digitally sign every message broadcasted, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the information exchanged between road infrastructures and road users.

User Privacy Safeguards

The PKI protects road users’ privacy through certificate pseudonymization. This means user data is protected by Pseudonym Certificates, preventing personal information from being tracked or exposed.

Trust Domain Protection

Only authorized stations will be allowed to participate in the communication, shielding the system from unauthorized access or malicious tampering.
