METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING DYNAMIC CYBERSECURITY POSTURE OF A V2X ENTITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240275613 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING DYNAMIC CYBERSECURITY POSTURE OF A V2X ENTITY
The method described in the patent application involves receiving messages at a network element, which can be either an update status information message from an updates server or an anomaly detection status information message from an anomaly detection server. Based on these messages, the method determines a dynamic cybersecurity posture indication for an intelligent transportation system entity and provides this indication to an enrollment authority for inclusion in a certificate related to the entity.
- Receiving messages from updates and anomaly detection servers
- Determining dynamic cybersecurity posture for an intelligent transportation system entity
- Providing cybersecurity posture indication to an enrollment authority for certificate inclusion
Potential Applications: - Enhancing cybersecurity measures in intelligent transportation systems - Improving anomaly detection and response in network elements
Problems Solved: - Ensuring the security of intelligent transportation systems - Streamlining the process of cybersecurity posture indication for entities
Benefits: - Enhanced cybersecurity protection for critical infrastructure - Efficient communication of cybersecurity posture information
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Cybersecurity in Intelligent Transportation Systems" This technology can be utilized by companies providing cybersecurity solutions for transportation systems, government agencies overseeing critical infrastructure security, and organizations managing network security for intelligent transportation systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the overall cybersecurity posture of intelligent transportation systems? 2. What are the potential implications of including dynamic cybersecurity posture indications in certificates for entities in the transportation sector?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method at a network element, the method including receiving at least one message at the network element, the at least one message being one or both of: an update status information message from an updates server; and an anomaly detection status information message from anomaly detection server; determining, based on the receiving the at least one message, a dynamic cybersecurity posture indication for an intelligent transportation system entity; and providing the dynamic cybersecurity posture indication for the intelligent transportation system entity to an enrolment authority, wherein the dynamic cybersecurity posture indication can be included in a certificate relating to the intelligent transportation system entity.
