Vehicle control system and method for controlling vehicle control system

A method for verifying content data to be used in a vehicle is provided. The method includes acquiring content data, acquiring, from partial data divided from the content data, a respective plurality of first hash values, acquiring a signature generated by using the first hash values and a key, acquiring state information that indicates a state of a vehicle, determining an integer N that is greater than or equal to one based on the acquired state information, generating, from N pieces of partial data included in the partial data, respective second hash values, verifying the content data by using each of (a) a subset of the plurality of first hash values respectively generated from partial data other than the N pieces of partial data, (b) the second hash values, and (c) the signature, and outputting information that indicates a result of the verifying.

Verification method, verification apparatus, and storage medium including program stored therein

An electronic control unit is connected to a network in an in-vehicle network system. The electronic control unit includes a first control circuit that operates on a first operating system and a second control circuit that operates on a second operating system. The first control circuit is connected to the network via the second control circuit. The second control circuit performs a first determination process on frames to determine conformity of the frames with a first rule. Upon determining that the frames conform to the first rule, the second control circuit transmits contents of the frames to the first control circuit. The first control circuit performs a second determination process on the contents of the frames to determine conformity with a second rule. The second rule is different from the first rule.

Vehicle communication apparatus, in-vehicle network system, and vehicle communication method

An anomaly detection server is provided. The anomaly detection server is a server for counteracting an anomalous frame transmitted on an on-board network of a single vehicle. The anomaly detection server acquires information about multiple frames received on one or multiple on-board networks of one or multiple vehicles, including the single vehicle. The anomaly detection server, acting as an assessment unit that, based on the information about the multiple frames and information about a frame received on the on-board network of the single vehicle after the acquisition of the information about the multiple frames, assesses an anomaly level of the frame received on the on-board network of the single vehicle.

Security processing method and server

A gateway device is connected to a plurality of electronic controllers on-board a vehicle. The gateway device acquires firmware update information, which includes at least a part of updated firmware to be applied to a first electronic controller, patch data, and information indicating where to apply the patch data. When the gateway device determines that the first electronic controller does not include a firmware cache for performing a pre-update firmware cache operation, the gateway device executes a proxy process. In this regard, the gateway device requests the first electronic controller to transmit boot ROM data to the gateway device, merges the patch data and existing firmware to create updated boot ROM data with updated firmware, and transmits the updated boot ROM data to the first electronic controller that updates the boot ROM data and resets the first electronic controller with the updated firmware.

Gateway device, in-vehicle network system, and firmware update method

A vehicle system is a vehicle system used for a vehicle, and includes: a plurality of in-vehicle apparatuses installed in the vehicle; and at least one of (i) a controller that, in accordance with a depth of penetration of a malicious attack carried out on the plurality of in-vehicle apparatuses, changes at least one of a communication method with an outside of the vehicle, a defense method against the malicious attack, or a storage method for logs pertaining to the plurality of in-vehicle apparatuses, or (ii) a determiner that determines whether or not the malicious attack is being carried out based on anomaly detection in the plurality of in-vehicle apparatuses.

Vehicle system and information processing method

An electronic control unit is connected to a network in an in-vehicle network system. The electronic control unit includes a first control circuit and a second control circuit. The first control circuit is connected to the network via the second control circuit. The second control circuit performs a first determination process on a frame to determine conformity of the frame with a first rule. Upon determining that the frame conforms to the first rule, the second control circuit transmits the frame to the first control circuit.

A gateway device is connected via network(s) to electronic controllers on-board a vehicle, where at least one of the electronic controllers is implemented in a virtual machine. The gateway device includes one or more memories, and circuitry that acquires firmware update information. The circuitry determines whether a first electronic controller satisfies a second condition based on second information, which is whether the first electronic controller includes a firmware cache for performing a pre-update firmware cache operation. The circuitry also causes, when the second condition is not satisfied, the gateway device to execute a proxy process, where the gateway device requests the first electronic controller to transmit boot ROM data to the gateway device, creates updated boot ROM data with the updated firmware, and transmits the updated boot ROM data to the first electronic controller that updates the boot ROM and resets the first electronic controller with the updated firmware.

A log generation method for generating a log of communication on an in-vehicle network includes: performing a plurality of determination processes for determining, by using different methods, whether or not a message sent to the in-vehicle network is anomalous; generating a log in accordance with results of the plurality of determination processes; and transmitting the generated log. In the generating, information items to be included in the log are determined in accordance with a combination of the results of the plurality of determination processes so that the log does not include identical information items.
