Receiving a first request message from a first apparatus through a first secure channel, where the first request message includes an identifier of an electronic control unit of a vehicle; obtaining a first key based on the identifier and security information of the first secure channel; and establishing a second secure channel with the electronic control unit based on the first key, where the second secure channel is used for communication between a cloud server and the electronic control unit.

A device for registering and authenticating a user device for vehicle control includes: a communication unit connected to the user device to receive an authentication request from the user device; an interface configured to communicatively connect with at least one antenna included in the vehicle and communicating with a FOB of the vehicle; and a processor configured to detect whether the user device is registered based on at least one of user information and device information included in the received authentication request, to detect whether a user of the user device has the FOB by using the at least one antenna, and to control a registration process of the user device which is set differently depending on whether the user has the FOB when the user device is not registered.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods directed to improving the functions of a vehicle. Systems and methods are provided that provide a custom tool that autogenerates a set of software agents that allows a system to separate processing, transmission and receiving of messages to achieve better synchronization. The disclosure herein also provides a simplified method of key provisioning by designating one client as a server and assigning a symmetric key to every other client permanently provisioned between that client and the server. Systems and method are further provided that predict faults in a vehicle. Systems and methods are also provided that preserve data in the event of a system crash. Systems and methods are also provided in which an operating system of a vehicle detects the presence of a new peripheral and pulls the related interface file for that new peripheral. Further, a data synchronization solution is provided herein which provides optimized levels of synchronization.

A method at a network element for processing a first message destined for an intelligent transportation system station, the method including receiving from a sending entity, or generating, the first message at the network element; based on a source or contents of the first message, performing one of: discarding the first message; or modifying the first message to provide an indication to the intelligent transportation system station of checks the intelligent transportation system does not need to perform, thereby creating a second message; and forwarding the second message to the intelligent transportation system station.

Surface-penetrating radar (SPR) systems provide localization information for provision to a blockchain application. SPR can be used in environments, such as cities, where multipath or shadowing degrades GPS accuracy, or as an alternative to optical sensing approaches that cannot tolerate darkness or changing scene illumination or whose performance can be adversely affected by variations in weather conditions. In particular, SPR can be used to acquire scans containing surface and subsurface features as a vehicle traverses terrain, and the acquired data scans may be compared to reference scan data that was previously acquired within the same environment in order to localize vehicle position within the environment. If the reference scan data has been labeled with geographic location information, a vehicle's absolute location can thereby be determined.

Computing nodes in a peer-to-peer network that can receive data about an accident in response to a vehicle having an accident. A computing device in the peer-to-peer network can generate a record of the data and store, in persistent storage, a copy of the record. The computing device can also transmit the record, via peer-to-peer connections, to other computing nodes in the network. The nodes in the network, when receiving the record, can each store a copy of the record and broadcast the record to one or more additional computing nodes in the network to cause the one or more additional computing nodes to store one or more additional copies of the record. Also, in response to an inquiry about the accident, the node can provide the record. And the node can participate in a determination of a network consensus in the network about validity of the record.

A distributed ledger operated by a group of network participants according to a set of consensus rules stores vehicle condition data and generated vehicle condition reports, The vehicle condition data may be received directly from a vehicle or an associated mobile device and the vehicle condition report may be accessed by an authorized user.

An example operation includes one or more of receiving a request into a transport network comprising at least one transport for a proposed use of personal data associated with the at least one transport prior to the at least one transport entering an area; receiving into the transport network a deletion time of the personal data, prior to the at least one transport entering the area; providing, from the transport network an acknowledgement of the deletion time; and providing, from the transport network, the personal data when the at least one transport is in the area based on the received acknowledgement. This enables an occupant of a transport to share personal data relating to the transport with confidence that the data will be deleted by an agreed time.

Systems and methods are described that enable trusted communications between two entities. In one implementation, a controller of a vehicle may include one or more processors configured to receive data and a controller signature from a second controller of the vehicle. The controller signature may be generated based on at least a first portion of the data. The one or more processors may be further configured to transmit the data and the controller signature to a gateway of the vehicle and receive a gateway signature from the gateway. The gateway signature may be generated based on at least a second portion of the data and transmitted to the controller after the gateway verified the controller signature. In addition, the one or more processors may be configured to verify the gateway signature and process the data.

An access device is provided for use in an access control system. The access device includes a processor having control of a door lock, and a communication module connected to the processor. The processor is able to receive a reservation certificate presented by a portable terminal through the communication module. The processor activates the door lock when the current reservation certificate has been presented and disables an alarm system when the current reservation certificate has been presented.
