Zusammenfassung:A method for updating a software component. The method includes providing a first electronic device and a second electronic device that are connected in a first network, receiving update information for the second electronic device via the first electronic device, the update information being provided with a signature that is generated with the aid of a post-quantum algorithm (PQA) signature, checking the update information by validating the signature by the first electronic device, relaying the update information to the second electronic device if the update information is deemed to be valid, and updating a software component of the second electronic device using the update information.
