Throughput

Assuming half of all new cars plus all existing vehicles need to refresh their copy of the RA certificate in one week.

8,500,000 new vehicles / 604,800 seconds/week

14 requests / second

(8,500,000 new vehicles + 34,000,000 existing vehicles) / 604,800 seconds/week

70 requests / second

(8,500,000 new vehicles + 68,000,000 existing vehicles) / 604,800 seconds/week

126 requests / second

(8,500,000 new vehicles + 153,000,000 existing vehicles) / 604,800 seconds/week

267 requests / second

Quality of Protection

  • RA protects access with HTTPS (TLS V1.2)
  • Supports at a minimum OpenSSL cipher suite ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256
