NIST Establishes Automotive Cybersecurity CoI to Tackle Industry Challenges
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a U.S. agency under the Department of Commerce, is setting up a Community of Interest (CoI) for the automotive industry. This move aims to tackle cybersecurity and privacy challenges specific to the sector, with a focus on vehicle cybersecurity risks, secure manufacturing processes, and supply chain management. The CoI will delve into crucial topics such as cryptography, supply chain management, and AI cybersecurity risk management in automated vehicles (AVs).
The CoI's discussions will span a wide range of subjects. In the realm of cryptography, experts will explore challenges like cryptographic agility and deprecation. Supply chain topics will cover code integrity, distribution, and management of hardware, firmware, and software composition and inventory. For AI cybersecurity risk management, the CoI will focus on developing measurement approaches for AI safety and security criteria in AVs, identifying and quantifying risks for AI algorithms, and testing and evaluation of adversarial attacks and mitigations.
The automotive industry faces significant challenges from increased cybersecurity risk and AI adoption. NIST's initiative seeks to address these issues by providing a platform for industry stakeholders to discuss and offer input on NIST's work affecting the automotive industry.
The establishment of the CoI signals NIST's commitment to strengthening cybersecurity and privacy in the automotive sector. By fostering open dialogue and collaboration, the CoI aims to help the industry navigate the complex landscape of cybersecurity risks and AI adoption, ultimately enhancing the safety and security of automated vehicles.
