In the evolving landscape of autonomous transportation, authentication protocols are the digital gatekeepers that ensure only verified entities—users, infrastructure, and other vehicles—can interact with the car's control systems. As part of the guide, we explore how these protocols are shifting from simple passwords to multi-layered, real-time verification systems. 1. The Core Pillar: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
: Smart cards or unique digital keys stored on a user's mobile device. or iris recognition to verify identity.
: Traditional knowledge-based factors integrated into a cloud-assisted key agreement protocol. 2. Emerging Authentication Technologies or iris recognition to verify identity.
Future autonomous vehicles (AVs) will likely mandate 2-step authentication protocols to maintain public trust and safety. This often involves combining: or iris recognition to verify identity.
: Using facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, or iris recognition to verify identity.
