The application provides a vehicle security starting method and
system based on post-
quantum cryptography, and relates to the technical fields of vehicle electronic control and vehicle
network security. The method is applied to an ECU of a vehicle, the ECU is pre-stored with public key information based on a post-
quantum cryptographic
algorithm and stores an image
package containing a post-
quantum cryptographic
digital signature; the method comprises the following steps: in response to the power-on of the ECU, loading the image
package, separating original image data and the
digital signature therefrom; determining a cryptographic hash value of the original image data; based on the public key information, performing a signature
verification operation of the post-quantum cryptographic
algorithm on the hash value and the
digital signature; and controlling the starting process of the ECU according to the result of the signature
verification operation. The application reconstructs the trust chain of the vehicle by using the post-quantum cryptographic
algorithm, and implements quantum security signature
verification at the vehicle end, which effectively ensures that the
software integrity and authenticity can still be effectively verified under the quantum computing environment, thereby providing full-life-cycle security protection for intelligent networked vehicles.
