Abstract
Disclosed herein are system and methods for authenticating vehicles based on trust established within a community of vehicles using a distributed ledger associating an identifier of each vehicle with a respective public key uniquely assigned to the respective vehicle. When a vehicle requests to establish a communication session with another party, which may be another vehicle or a service system, the vehicle may transmit its identifier and a message signed using its respective private key from which its public key is derived. In response, to authenticate the vehicle, the other party may communicate with one or more trusted vehicles which may verify the vehicle is genuinely associated with the public key by decoding the message using the public key retrieved from their local copy of the distributed ledger. The other party may then establish the communication session or refuse it based on the whether the verification is successful or not.
