METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS OF EXTERNAL DEVICES TO IN-VEHICLE NETWORK AND GATEWAY THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18371701 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS OF EXTERNAL DEVICES TO IN-VEHICLE NETWORK AND GATEWAY THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a process where a gateway authenticates a new external device connected to a vehicle based on the vehicle manufacturer's public key and the device's certificate. The gateway then assigns roles to the device based on information in its certificate and controls communication traffic to the vehicle network based on these roles.
- Challenge-response authentication process for new external devices
- Role assignment based on device certificate information
- Control of communication traffic to vehicle network based on assigned roles
Key Features and Innovation
- Challenge-response authentication process for external devices
- Role assignment based on device certificate information
- Control of communication traffic based on assigned roles
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for secure communication between vehicles and external devices, such as smartphones or diagnostic tools.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the need for secure authentication and communication control between vehicles and external devices to prevent unauthorized access or malicious attacks.
Benefits
- Enhanced security for vehicle communication systems
- Improved control over external device access to vehicle networks
- Protection against unauthorized access and cyber threats
Commercial Applications
- Automotive cybersecurity solutions
- Vehicle-to-device communication systems
- Secure vehicle diagnostic tools
Questions about the Technology
How does this technology improve vehicle cybersecurity?
This technology enhances vehicle cybersecurity by implementing secure authentication processes and communication control for external devices connected to vehicles.
What are the potential risks associated with unauthorized access to vehicle networks?
Unauthorized access to vehicle networks can lead to safety risks, data breaches, and potential vehicle control manipulation, highlighting the importance of secure authentication and communication control mechanisms.
Original Abstract Submitted
A gateway may perform a challenge-response authentication process on an external device which is new and external to a vehicle connected to a vehicle access interface, based on a public key of the vehicle manufacturer and a certificate of the external device. The gateway may associate one or more roles in a role-permissions database stored in a secure repository with an identifier of the external device, based on a role indicator obtained from an extended field of the external device's certificate. The gateway may control the routing of communication traffic from the external device to a destination which is the in-vehicle network based on permissions mapped to one or more roles in the role-permissions database.
