SAESOL Tech co-creates new security test standards for V2X with OmniAir Consortium
Under the leadership of SAESOL Tech, a leading autonomous driving and connected car V2X security solutions provider, the international testing standards for V2X security certification, IEEE1609.2.1, have been established. This development marks a significant step forward in enhancing the security of autonomous vehicles and infrastructure technology.
OmniAir Consortium, an industry association providing testing and certification for the latest mobility technologies such as connected cars, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and tolling technologies, officially announced the testing specifications for the V2X security standard IEEE1609.2.1, on its website on March 19th. They emphasized the importance of global compliance among member companies.
IEEE1609.2.1 defines the interface specifications between V2X Security Credential Management System (SCMS) and end-user devices, resolving the compatibility issues that have been a major obstacle for device manufacturers (OBU, RSU) in actual service operations. Additionally, IEEE1609.2.1 has been adopted as the security certification standard for the Smart Intersection project currently underway in the United States and is expected to be introduced as a KS standard in Korea within this year. The recent introduction of OmniAir Consortium's IEEE1609.2.1 testing specifications is anticipated to significantly reduce the costs and time required for member companies worldwide to develop and certify SCMS interoperability functions for C-V2X onboard units (OBUs) and roadside units (RSUs).
SAESOL Tech, serving as the chairman of the OmniAir Consortium IEEE1609.2.1 Standard Security Testing Working Group, played a crucial role in proposing testing specifications and various test cases over the past two years, participating in numerous plugfests for validation before final approval.
Woody Kim, the head of the OmniAir Consortium Technical Subcommittee and CTO of SAESOL Tech, stated, "We have been collaborating with global V2X security industry members to develop various test cases leading up to the commencement of the new IEEE1609.2.1 security tests." He added, "SAESOL Tech's efforts are expected to make significant contributions to the stability and economic development of autonomous driving infrastructure particularly in aiding Korean device manufacturers in developing and validating functionalities related to the new SCMS standards, a critical issue in the US Smart Intersection project."
