Abstract
A method for programming a vehicle module via a secure programming system. The method carried out by the system involves generating a credentials media containing one or more secure credentials. Then, a credentials programmer programs one or more vehicle modules using the credentials media. During each stage of the vehicle module programming, the programming status is securely updated in the credential media. In case of a programming failure, the credentials media is used in a secondary credentials programmer to program the vehicle modules.
