Setups and use cases

Digital signing ensures that only authentic software/configurations can be deployed/installed on ECUs/vehicles/fleets.
Digital certificates and device-specific keys enable secure communication within and beyond the vehicle, for example secure onboard communication (SecOC), secure cloud connectivity, and smart charging applications.
Digital access codes ensure that only authorized users/devices (for example diagnostic testers) get access for diagnostic services or telematics.
Encryption prevents eavesdropping.
Secure key injection and update support end-to-end authentication and encryption of key material.
