Abstract
In one aspect, a computer system for verifying vehicle software configuration may be provided. In some exemplary embodiments, the computer system may include a processor and a non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to: (1) transmit an authentication request to a vehicle computing system including a hash algorithm specification; (2) receive, from the vehicle computing system, a current configuration hash value and a vehicle identifier; (3) retrieve a trusted data block from a memory based upon the vehicle identifier; (4) compare the current configuration hash value to a stored configuration hash value included in the trusted data block; and (5) transmit an authentication response to the vehicle computing system based upon the comparison.
