Method for detecting a manipulation of a message of a bus system of a vehicle

Abstract

A method of using a controller of a vehicle to detect manipulation of a message of a bus system of the vehicle is disclosed herein. The method includes receiving, at the controller, the message from the bus system of the vehicle, and ascertaining a state of a learning method of the controller based on a vehicle state. When the state of the learning method indicates that the learning method is not trained: the method further includes training the learning method using the received message. When the state of the learning method indicates that the learning method is trained, the method further includes using the trained learning method to detect manipulation of the message. The method also includes providing an alarm message from the controller to a server outside of the vehicle when the trained learning method has detected manipulation of the message.
