CCC Digital Key Test Solution for NFC

The CCC Digital Key Test Solution for NFC is an end-to-end test solution consisting of a test management platform, a specific test bench, and the required hardware. It is the validated CCC End-to-End Interoperability Test Tool for NFC. This solution, employed by major companies in the automotive industry for their development and design processes, is also used for CCC-defined conformance testing.

Setup

This diagram illustrates the test setup orchestrated by an operator. The operator is auditing the End-to-End (E2E) interoperability tests according to the certification program.

Software components:

  • NFC log viewer
    Displays the NFC protocol with translation into human readable format
  • Test Framework
    Test plan management software running test cases

Hardware components:

  • NFC Sniffer
    NFC traffic monitoring over the air using a spy antenna
  • NFC Disturb Unit
    Jamming communication, causing a deliberate error

 

Test Bench

The test cases are organized into a test bench, which thoroughly examine the content of the NFC protocol. It then generates results based on whether the expected pattern matches at the correct time. The included test cases encompass the following areas:

  • Owner pairing test cases, including test cases for error handling.
  • Door transaction test cases, including test cases for error handling and friend device handling.
  • Console transaction test cases.
  • Key management test cases for owner and friend digital key termination (offline/online).

 

Components

CCC Digital Key Test Solution includes the following components that together enable comprehensive testing and verification of NFC-based car access solutions:

  • CL Verify A
    COMPRION's contactless testing tool for validation of contactless interface design.
  • Device Test Center - CCC Edition
    Sophisticated test plan management software and NFC log viewer.
  • CCC Digital Key End-to-End Interoperability Test Bench
    WCC1 (NFC only) according to Car Connectivity Consortium specification.
  • A set of monitoring (spy), and disturb antennas.
