Uptane - Secure Wireless Internet (ITS)
Description
This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with Uptane with those for I–M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS). The Uptane standards include upper–layer standards required to update software in a vehicle according to the Uptane standards. The I–M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS) standards include lower–layer standards that support secure communications between two entities, either or both of which may be mobile devices, but they must be stationary or only moving within wireless range of a single wireless access point (e.g., a parked car). Security is based on X.509 or IEEE 1609.2 certificates. A non–mobile (if any) endpoint may connect to the service provider using any Internet connection method.

| ITS Application Entity | Uptane | Uptane | This dosucment describes an open and secure software update system design which protects software delivered over–the–air to the computerized units of automobiles. The framework can thwart attacks from malicious actors who can compromise servers and networks used to sign and deliver updates. Hence, it is designed to be resilient even to the best efforts of nation state attackers. There are multiple different free open source and closed source implementations available. Uptane is integrated into Automotive Grade Linux, an open source system currently used by many large OEMs and has also been adopted by a number of U.S. and international manufacturers. |

Readiness: High
Readiness Description
A small number of minor issues. For existing deployments, consider addressing issues as needed as part of maintenance or upgrade activities. For new deployments, the solution is likely suitable for wide–scale deployment when applied to the triples it supports, though the noted issues should be considered and a path to addressing them developed, if needed, either as part of design or subsequent maintenance or upgrade activities.
Issues
| Issue | Severity | Description | Associated Standard | Associated Triple |
|---|
| Use case not considered in design (minor) | Low | While the indicated standards nominally address the information flow, the design may not meet practical constraints because this particular use case was not the focus of the design effort. | Uptane | (All) |
