KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Transition from a single-vendor ecosystem to a multi-vendor ecosystem requires standardized certification and secure hardware.
- Version 4 of the CCC Digital Key focuses on interoperability and validation rather than on new specific threats.
- NFC as a fallback access method maintains high security standards thanks to authentication and control mechanisms.
- Rapid revocation of credentials and owner control ensure security even in case of lost or compromised device.
- Crypto agility and readiness for post-quantum cryptography are fundamental for the longevity of digital keys.
