TRANSMISSION OF AUTHENTICATION KEYS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18045571 titled 'TRANSMISSION OF AUTHENTICATION KEYS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a vehicle system with a control module that generates an update command containing authentication keys and a mapping to second control modules, which is transmitted over a vehicle network.
- The first control module in the vehicle system is programmed to generate an update command with authentication keys and a mapping to second control modules.
- The update command is transmitted over a vehicle network and is designed to be received by the second control modules.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in automotive systems, such as updating software in various control modules within a vehicle.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently updating multiple control modules in a vehicle system with authentication keys and mappings.
Benefits

Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the automotive industry for updating software in vehicles efficiently and securely.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be similar systems used in other industries for updating software in multiple devices with authentication keys and mappings.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle conflicts between different updates to the same control module?
The abstract does not provide information on how the system resolves conflicts when multiple updates are sent to the same control module.
What is the process for adding new control modules to the update command mapping?
The abstract does not detail how new control modules are added to the mapping in the update command.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle system includes a first control module. The first control module is programmed to generate an update command including a plurality of authentication keys and a mapping associating the authentication keys with a plurality of second control modules transmit the update command over a vehicle network. The update command is functionally addressed to be receivable by the second control modules.
