Systems and methods for vehicle message signing are provided. A method includes obtaining, by a vehicle computing system of an autonomous vehicle, a computing system state associated with the vehicle computing system and a message from at least one remote process running a computing device remote from the vehicle computing system. The message is associated with an intended recipient process running on the vehicle computing system. The method includes determining an originating sender for the message. The originating sender is indicative of a remote process that generated the message. The method includes determining a routing action for the message based on a comparison of the originating sender and the computing system state. The routing action includes at least one of a discarding action or a forwarding action to the intended recipient process. The method includes performing the routing action for the message.

Systems and methods for vehicle message signing

Systems and methods for onboard vehicle certificate distribution are provided. A system can include a plurality of devices including a master device for authenticating processes and one or more requesting devices. The master device can include a master host security service configured to authenticate the one or more processes of the system. The master host security service can run a certificate authority to generate a root certificate and a private root key corresponding to the root certificate. A respective host security service can receive a request for a process manifest for a requesting process of a respective device from a respective orchestration service. The respective host security service can generate the process manifest for the requesting process and provide the process manifest to the requesting process. The requesting process can use the process manifest to communicate with the certificate authority to obtain an operational certificate based on the root certificate.

Systems and methods for onboard vehicle certificate distribution

Systems and methods for servicing vehicle messages utilizing a common communications infrastructure are provided. A method includes obtaining, by a vehicle computing system onboard an autonomous vehicle, a message including a cryptographic signature and contextual information, a request, or a command. The method includes determining an originating sender associated with the message based on the cryptographic signature and determining a message privilege for the message based on the originating sender. The originating sender is a process that generated the message. The method includes determining a response for the contextual information, the request, or the command based on the message privilege. The response is indicative of an acceptance or rejection of contextual information, an assignment of computing resources to a request, or an acceptance or rejection of a command. The method includes performing a vehicle action based on the response.
