Abstract:

Methods and systems related to the secure transmission of information within a vehicle's computing systems are presented. Transmitting a message within the secure computer system includes receiving a message that includes a remote encryption key from a module, validating the module, loading security metadata, then validating the security metadata using the remote encryption key. Thereafter, the valid destination modules are determined and the message is sent to them. Metadata labels may be securely attached to data using a local encryption key, in order to maintain the integrity of the data.

Abstract:

Some embodiments include a Trusted Security Module that creates secure connections using a set of split keys. Some embodiments include the creation of remote and local keys that are distributed to multiple devices. When the devices wish to communicate with each other, the remote and local keys are combined into connection keys to encrypt and decrypt messages. The remote and local keys may be combined in a variety of ways, including appending the remote key to the local key. A key mask may be used to create a connection key by using various combinations of bits from the remote key and from the local key. Other embodiments are described.
