LG Uplus Unveils Connected Car Security Technology at CES

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] LG Uplus announced on the 6th that it unveiled technology for automotive AVN (Audio, Video, Navigation) applying Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) at the 'World's Largest Electronics and IT Exhibition CES 2023.'

This technology was jointly developed by LG Uplus in collaboration with cryptography specialist company Cryptolab, PQC PUF chip and application service developer ICTK, and LG Electronics since October last year. Through this exhibition, the company aims to secure global automakers and IoT companies as potential customers in the connected car security market.

Along with this, LG Uplus also demonstrated the 'Car Pay' service utilizing PQC technology. Car Pay, currently under development by LG Uplus, is a service that allows payment inside the vehicle with simple biometric authentication without using a card or mobile phone at drive-thru stores. Once commercialized, PQC technology will securely protect the driver's personal and payment information while enabling easy and fast payments by exchanging data with external servers.

LG Uplus plans to advance quantum security technologies such as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) based on payment services (PoI·Point of Interest) and wireless communication updates (OTA·Over the Air), while also providing authentication services applying its PQC technology in various mobility IoT fields.

Choi Taekjin, Vice President and Head of LG Uplus Enterprise Division, stated, "CES 2023 has laid the foundation for LG Uplus's Post-Quantum Cryptography technology to enter the global stage," adding, "We will continue to advance the technology based on the scalability of PQC and lead quantum security in the automotive electronics field in the upcoming connected car era."
