1. A method of securing a vehicle, comprising:
- commencing pre-departure operations, creating a non-persistent identifier after commencement of pre-departure operations, entering the non-persistent identifier into an identifier receiver, storing the non-persistent identifier in an identifier processor, detecting during operation of the vehicle a restricted event, performing a restriction action, terminating operation of the vehicle, clearing the non-persistent identifier from the identifier processor.

Abstract
A system of securing access to vehicle control systems using non-persistent identifiers. Identifiers are received and stored at the commencement of vehicle operations. Restricted events are detected and confirmation identifiers are requested, in order to continue vehicle operations. If confirmation identifiers are not presented, vehicle operations enter caution mode, and access to vehicle controls is restricted. Upon termination of a vehicle trip, the non-persistent identifiers are discarded. The system provides a convenient, low-overhead, secure means of regulating access to vehicle control systems.
