Abstract
A method and assistance system drawn to identification-dependent communication that takes place between vehicles. The messages to be transmitted are encrypted by cryptographic methods, wherein the necessary keys for the cryptographic methods are stored in vehicle components which are protected from unauthorized removal and installation by means of protection mechanisms. The method and system make it possible to limit standardized broadcasts to a particular group of users.
