Disclosed herein are systems, methods and devices system for identifying a misbehaving computerized device. In some implementations, the system includes a processor to perform operations including receiving, by the system, a report about a computerized device, wherein the report comprises a pseudonym certificate from the computerized device, and wherein the pseudonym certificate comprises a linkage value. The operations also include transmitting, by the system and to a cloaking authority device, a request for a cloak index, wherein the request for the cloak index comprises the linkage value from the pseudonym certificate from the computerized device. The operations also include receiving, by the system, the cloak index from the cloaking authority device, and determining, by the system and using the cloak index, that the computerized device is the misbehaving computerized device.

Cloaking authority system

Disclosed herein are systems, methods and devices system for identifying a misbehaving computerized device. In some implementations, the system includes a cloaking authority device for identifying a misbehaving computerized device, wherein the cloaking authority device includes a processor that can receive a request for a cloak index, wherein the request for the cloak index comprises a linkage value retrieved from a pseudonym certificate. In some examples, the processor can also request, from a pseudonym certificate authority device, first information that is used to produce the cloak index, wherein the first information is associated with the linkage value. Additionally, the processor can process, by the cloaking authority device, the linkage value to produce the cloak index based in part on the first information, wherein the cloak index identifies a misbehaving computerized device. Furthermore, the processor can transmit, by the cloaking authority device, the cloak index to a misbehavior authority device.

A cloaking authority system that securely and anonymously identifies a misbehaving device based on its digital certificate. The system may include a cloaking authority server or device that is communicatively connected to a misbehavior authority server, and may also include a pseudonym certificate authority device, and a registration authority device. The cloaking authority device receives, from the misbehavior authority server, a request for a cloak index, wherein the request for the cloak index includes the linkage value from a PC of a misbehaving computerized device. The cloaking authority device processes the linkage value to produce a cloak index, which identifies the misbehaving computerized device and which is unique and anonymous, and transmits it to the requesting misbehavior authority server. The misbehavior authority server uses the cloak index to identify the specific computerized device that has misbehaved, usually repeatedly.

A cloaking authority system that securely and anonymously identifies a misbehaving device based on its digital certificate. The system may include a cloaking authority server that is communicatively connected to a misbehavior authority server, a pseudonym certificate authority device, and a registration authority device. In response to a request from the misbehavior authority server to identify a misbehaving device using the device's pseudonym certificate, the cloaking authority server interacts with the pseudonym certificate authority device and the registration authority device to securely obtain a representation of the linkage chain identifier that is associated with the misbehaving device, while maintaining the anonymity of the real-world identifying information for the misbehaving device. The cloaking authority server creates a cloak index that corresponds to the linkage chain identifier and that identifies the misbehaving device, and provides the cloak index to the misbehavior authority server.
