Abstract
A trusted image recognition system and method are disclosed. A target vehicle includes a target vehicle controller configured to generate a first cryptographic key having a first sequence of bits, and a mechanical key display device configured to display a mechanical representation of the first sequence of bits. A host vehicle includes an image sensor configured to capture an image of the mechanical representation of the first sequence of bits, and a host vehicle controller configured to: recognize the mechanical representation of the first sequence of bits in the image; retrieve the first sequence of bits of the first cryptographic key from the image; generate a second cryptographic key having a second sequence of bits; compare the first sequence of bits to the second sequence of bits; and, responsive to the first sequence of bits matching the second sequence of bits, identify the target vehicle as an authenticated target vehicle.
