Abstract

A vehicular scalable secure gateway system for a vehicle includes a connected gateway and a secure gateway. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system provides flexibility to add and/or remove one or more particular security measures based on the need for the particular security measure or measures.

Claims

1. A vehicular scalable secure gateway system for a vehicle, said vehicular scalable secure gateway system comprising:

a connected gateway and a secure gateway; and

wherein said system provides flexibility to add and/or remove any particular security measure based on determination of a need for that particular security measure.

2. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein said connected gateway is in wireless communication with (i) a v2x communication system and (ii) a satellite global positioning system.

3. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein said connected gateway is in communication with a wireless communication system of the vehicle.

4. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein said secure gateway is in communication with an on-board diagnostic interface of the vehicle.

5. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein said secure gateway is in communication with a USB port of the vehicle.

6. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein said secure gateway is in communication with a body control module (BCM) of the vehicle via a communication network of the vehicle.

7. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein said secure gateway is in communication with a driving assist system (DAS) of the vehicle via a communication network of the vehicle.

8. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein said secure gateway is in communication with a driving assist system (DAS) of the vehicle via an Ethernet link.

9. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein, responsive to determination that only basic security measures are applicable, said system provides one or both of (i) isolation of an on-board diagnostic interface at said secure gateway and (ii) protection of a communication network of the vehicle.

10. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein, responsive to determination that additional network security measures are applicable, said system provides Ethernet protection at the vehicle.

11. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein, responsive to determination that additional USB access port security measures are applicable, said system provides protection of a USB access port of the vehicle.

12. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein, responsive to determination that additional near field wireless access security measures are applicable, said system provides protection of one or both of (i) a BLUETOOTH system of the vehicle and (ii) a WiFi system of the vehicle.

13. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 1, wherein, responsive to determination that additional long range wireless communication security measures are applicable, said system provides security measures for 3G/4G/LTE communications and GPS communications.

14. A vehicular scalable secure gateway system for a vehicle, said vehicular scalable secure gateway system comprising:

a connected gateway and a secure gateway;

wherein said system provides flexibility to add and/or remove any particular security measure based on determination of a need for that particular security measure;

wherein said secure gateway is in communication with an on-board diagnostic interface of the vehicle;

wherein, responsive to determination that only basic security measures are applicable, said system provides (i) isolation of the on-board diagnostic interface at said secure gateway and (ii) protection of a communication network of the vehicle; and

wherein, responsive to determination that additional network security measures are applicable, said system provides Ethernet protection at the vehicle.

15. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 14, wherein said connected gateway is in wireless communication with (i) a v2x communication system and (ii) a satellite global positioning system.

16. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 14, wherein said secure gateway is in communication with a body control module (BCM) of the vehicle via the communication network of the vehicle.

17. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 14, wherein said secure gateway is in communication with a driving assist system (DAS) of the vehicle via the communication network of the vehicle.

18. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 14, wherein said secure gateway is in communication with a driving assist system (DAS) of the vehicle via an Ethernet link.

19. A vehicular scalable secure gateway system for a vehicle, said vehicular scalable secure gateway system comprising:

a connected gateway and a secure gateway;

wherein said system provides flexibility to add and/or remove any particular security measure based on determination of a need for that particular security measure;

wherein said secure gateway is in communication with an on-board diagnostic interface of the vehicle, a communication network of the vehicle, a USB access port of the vehicle, a BLUETOOTH system of the vehicle and a WiFi system of the vehicle;

wherein, responsive to determination that only basic security measures are applicable, said system provides (i) isolation of the on-board diagnostic interface at said secure gateway and (ii) protection of a communication network of the vehicle;

wherein, responsive to determination that additional network security measures are applicable, said system provides Ethernet protection at the vehicle;

wherein, responsive to determination that additional USB access port security measures are applicable, said system provides protection of the USB access port of the vehicle;

wherein, responsive to determination that additional near field wireless access security measures are applicable, said system provides protection of (i) the BLUETOOTH system of the vehicle and (ii) the WiFi system of the vehicle; and

wherein, responsive to determination that additional long range wireless communication security measures are applicable, said system provides security measures for 3G/4G/LTE communications and GPS communications.

20. The vehicular scalable secure gateway system of claim 19, wherein said connected gateway is in wireless communication with (i) a v2x communication system, (ii) a satellite global positioning system, (iii) a body control module (BCM) of the vehicle and (iv) a driving assist system (DAS) of the vehicle.
