International Classification:

G06F 11/30

US Classification:

713155, 713169, 713187, 701 1, 7100

Abstract:

A vehicle authenticates a prospective component for use in the vehicle by obtaining from a certification authority a certification that an authentic component is associated with a cryptographic key. The certification certifies that the cryptographic key is bound to information identifying the authentic component. The vehicle utilizes the cryptographic key obtained from the certification authority in cryptographic communication with the prospective component, and determines whether the prospective component is the authentic component based on whether the cryptographic key is successfully utilized in the cryptographic communication.

US Classification:

713170, 340 58, 701 29, 701 32

Abstract:

A component for use in a prospective vehicle obtains from a certification authority a certification that an authentic vehicle is associated with a cryptographic key. The certification certifies that the cryptographic key is bound to information identifying the authentic vehicle. The component utilizes the cryptographic key obtained from the certification authority in cryptographic communication with the prospective vehicle, and determines whether the prospective vehicle is the authentic vehicle based on whether the cryptographic key is successfully utilized in the cryptographic communication. Upon determining the prospective vehicle is the authentic vehicle, the component may allow the prospective vehicle to operate the component.

International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

380/277000

Abstract:

A prospective component for use in a vehicle stores a first cryptographic key and utilizes the first cryptographic key in cryptographic communication with the vehicle. The vehicle obtains from a certification authority a certification associating a second cryptographic key with an authentic component. The vehicle utilizes the second cryptographic key in cryptographic communication and determines whether the prospective component is the authentic component based on whether the cryptographic communication is successful.
