For connecting a diagnostic unit to a vehicle controller of a motor vehicle via a network connection, it is provided that, when the connection has been established between the diagnostic unit and the vehicle controller, a check is performed as to whether the diagnostic unit is directly connected to the vehicle controller. The diagnostic unit receives diagnostic data from the vehicle controller only when there is a direct connection.

Method and device for connecting a diagnostic unit to a control unit in a motor vehicle

A method and a corresponding apparatus are provided for securing access to a network, in particular a local area network. The method includes authenticating a supplicant with an authenticator using an authentication protocol. The method determines a transit time of a message between the supplicant and the authenticator. The method controls access to the Ethernet network by the supplicant canton the basis of the authentication which has been carried out and the transit time determined.

Secure network access protection using authenticated time measurement

A method is provided for determining an address of a component of a vehicle, wherein a vehicle identification is determined and stored in a first field of the address, and wherein an identification of the component is stored in a second field of the address. Furthermore, a method for accessing a component of a vehicle, in particular, a control unit of the vehicle, by use of the determined address of the component is provided, as well as a vehicle with at least one such component is also proposed.

Method for determining an address of a component of a vehicle

A method establishes a wireless communication connection between a vehicle communication unit of a vehicle and a charging station communication unit of a charging station. The method includes the transmission of a low-frequency signal via a LF transmission unit of the vehicle, wherein the LF request signal displays an identifier relating to the vehicle. The method also includes the receiving of the LF request signal via an LF receiving unit of the charging station. The method further includes the transmission of information relating to the identifier in a broadcast message via the charging station communication unit, as well as the receiving of the broadcast message via the vehicle communication unit. In addition, the method includes the checking of whether the broadcast message comprises the information relating to the identifier, and the establishing of a wireless communication connection between the vehicle communication unit and the charging station communication unit, if the broadcast message comprises the information relating to the identifier.
