20150200957DETECTION OF FALSE VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT MESSAGES - The trustworthiness of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) messages received from one or more associated vehicles in the vicinity of a subject vehicle is determined autonomously by a false signal detection system of the subject vehicle. Physical evidence relating to the associated vehicles is collected, and a statistical model is used to perform an analysis of the collected data. A V2V message is received by the system from a first one of the associated vehicles and a trustworthiness level of the message is determined in accordance with a correlation between the received V2V message and the result of the analyzed physical data relating to the first associated vehicle. The correlation may be a comparison of data contained in the received V2V message relative to a result of a stochastic analysis of the physical data. The received V2V message may be any V2V safety message including Emergency Electronic Brake Light (EEBL) messages.07-16-2015
20150327028DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TRANSMISSION RATES - Apparatus, methods and logic for vehicles to determine vehicle to vehicle (V2V) safety message transmission rates for transmitting V2V safety messages based on how frequently the vehicles actually need to exchange safety messages, including factors such as vehicle velocities, distances among vehicles, and on how quickly the inter-vehicle distances are closing up. The determined V2V safety message transmission rates are selectively dynamically adjusted in accordance with detected significant changes in one or more of the inter-vehicle distances or inter-vehicle speeds. To avoid needless frequent changes to the transmission rate, statistical modeling techniques including hypothesis testing and sequential change detection are selectively used to more accurately detect significant changes in inter-vehicle distances or inter-vehicle speeds that warrant a change to the message transmission rate.11-12-2015
20150365389AUTHENTICATION OF DEVICES HAVING UNEQUAL CAPABILITIES - A system authenticates in-vehicle electronic devices having unequal capabilities such as having varying different communication and processing capabilities. A Connected Vehicle Gateway portion of a selected in-vehicle device acts as an onboard authentication proxy and onboard key server functionality for other in-vehicle devices, and serves as an interface between an in-vehicle network and one or more associated external networks, thereby eliminating the need for explicit peer discovery protocol and the requirement of devices to perform key establishment with each individual communication peer. Instead, each in-vehicle device establishes the group keys as a result of its authentication with the onboard key server and uses the group keys to locally generate and update its session keys. The onboard key server selectively obtains the keys from one or more off-board authentication servers and distributes them to selected in-vehicle devices.12-17-2015
20160072781SUPPORTING DIFFERENTIATED SECURE COMMUNICATIONS AMONG HETEROGENEOUS ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A gateway apparatus supports differentiated secure communications among heterogeneous electronic devices. A communication port communicates via communication networks of different types with two or more associated devices having diverse secure communication capabilities. The gateway logic selectively authenticates the associated devices for group membership into a Secure Communication Group (SCG), and selectively communicates Secure Communication Group Keys (SCGKs) to the devices having the diverse secure communication capabilities for selectively generating session keys locally by the associated devices for mutual secure communication in accordance with the group membership of the associated devices in the SCG.03-10-2016

In response to the device being approved for services (e.g., checked by the provisioning system via a registration system), the provisioning system provides a root certificate to the device, and the device sends a certificate enrollment request back to the provisioning system. In response to a certificate authority signing the certificate request, the provisioning system returns a valid certificate to the device, and the valid certificate is installed on the device.04-21-2016
