1. A method for selectively checking data security sequences of received vehicle-to-X messages, the vehicle-to-X messages being messages containing information that is sent to a vehicle from another road user or an infrastructure facility, the method comprising the steps of:

  • receiving or sending a number of the vehicle-to-X messages in an operating cycle of a vehicle-to-X communication system, wherein at least one of the vehicle-to-X messages comprises a data security sequence,checking the data security sequence during the operating cycle by performing a reliability assessment of the at least one of the vehicle-to-X messages received,reading during the operating cycle an information content of the received vehicle-to-X message without prior checking of the data security sequence,selecting during the operating cycle a subset of a number of the received vehicle-to-X messages on the basis of the information contents,correcting during the operating cycle the selection of the subset of the number of vehicle-to-X messages selected on the basis of the information content is greater than or less than the available checking capacity,checking solely the data security sequences of selected vehicle-to-X messages; and

    wherein the selection on the basis of the information contents takes into account at least two of the following factors;

    an actual speed of a recipient,a relative speed of the recipient with respect to a sender,an activation status of a driver assistance system or a comfort system,a distance between the recipient and sender,an estimated time of entry of the sender into a critical zone around the recipient wherein the critical zone has an adaptable extent and outline,an estimated time of intersection of the trajectories of motion of the sender and the recipient,an estimated time of the recipient colliding with the sender,an orientation of the recipient with respect to the sender,a time stamp of a vehicle to X message,a relative direction of travel of the recipient with respect to the sender, anda road classification is made according to one or more of a permitted maximum speed, a lane width, a separation of lanes, a number of lanes, a proximity to built-up areas, and weather conditions.
