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)
: Traditional knowledge-based factors integrated into a cloud-assisted key agreement protocol. 2. Emerging Authentication Technologies or iris recognition to verify identity.
: Using facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, or iris recognition to verify identity. or iris recognition to verify identity.
