LG Electronics’ Vehicle to Everything (V2X) solution for Volkswagen has received the first Common Criteria (CC) certification for security stability in the V2X device category. This certification supports LG’s position in the global automotive components market and demonstrates its capabilities in vehicle cybersecurity. The certified device, LG’s VW Transceiver Module, is a telematics component for Volkswagen’s internal combustion engine-specific MQB platform. CC certification, an internationally recognized standard for IT product security, indicates that the device offers protection against unauthorized access or interference. The module also meets the security standards set by Spain’s National Cryptologic Centre (CCN), earning an Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2+ rating.
V2X technology enables communication between vehicles, traffic infrastructure, and pedestrians. Robust security is crucial to prevent potential issues such as traffic congestion, accidents, or data breaches. LG ensures that its telematics components comply with Europe’s security regulations to provide safe and reliable solutions. Following the CC certification for the MQB platform, LG aims to achieve the same for its V2X solution for Volkswagen’s MEB electric vehicle platform within the year.
Besides obtaining security certifications for its V2X solutions, LG is also enhancing security across all areas of its automotive electronics business. In 2022, LG Vehicle component Solutions (VS) Company received the Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX) certification and gained Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) certification from TÜV Rheinland in February.
