Impact of quantum computers on automotive security and possible mitigations

Description

"We are at the advent of the age of Quantum Computing (QC) with first prototypes currently being tested in labs.
Quantum-parallelization will most likely provide possibilities to break the classical approaches for asymmetric cryptography.
This thesis investigates the impact of QC on security in the automotive industry by analysing use cases in a typical reference architecture with respect to QC attacks.
The thesis will then investigate possible countermeasures against these threats.
It will further evaluate the performance aspects of these countermeasures and provide a corresponding recommendation for each use case."
