Anonymous vehicle communication protocol in vehicle-to-vehicle networks
First Claim
1. A method for managing vehicle communication anonymously in wireless vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) networks, comprising:
- identifying a first triggering event of a vehicle with a static device tag;
establishing, in response to the first triggering event of the vehicle with the static device tag, a first key for the device, wherein the first key is based on a first status of the vehicle and the first status of the vehicle relates to a characteristic of the vehicle over a period of time;
generating, by using a hashing technique on a combination of the first key and the static device tag, a first anonymous identifier of the vehicle for anonymously identifying the vehicle on a first wireless V2V network; and
providing, to the first wireless V2V network, a second status of the vehicle together with the first identifier, wherein the second status of the vehicle relates to the state of the vehicle to anonymously coordinate with other vehicles on the first wireless V2V network.

Abstract
A system and method for managing device communication anonymously in wireless networks. A controller in a device manages communication for the device. The device has a static device tag. The controller establishes a first key for the device. The controller establishes the first key in response to a first triggering event of the device. The first key is based on a first status of the device. The controller generates a first identifier of the device. The controller generates the first identifier by using a hashing technique. The controller uses the hashing technique on a combination of the first key and the static device tag. The first identifier is for identifying the device on a first wireless network. The controller provides a second status of the device. The controller provides the second status to the first wireless network. The controller couples the second status with the first identifier.

8. A system for managing vehicle communication anonymously on wireless vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) networks, the system comprising:
-
a wireless V2V network interface; a memory; and one or more processing circuits communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to; establish, in response to a first triggering event of a vehicle with a static device tag and a first key for the vehicle, wherein the first key is based on a first status of the vehicle and the first status of the vehicle relates to a characteristic of the vehicle over a period of time; generate, by using a hashing technique on a combination of the first key and the static device tag, a first anonymous identifier of the vehicle for anonymously identifying the vehicle on a first wireless V2V network; and provide, to the first wireless V2V network, a second status of the vehicle together with the first anonymous identifier, wherein the second status of the vehicle relates to the state of the vehicle to anonymously coordinate with other vehicles on the first wireless V2V network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer program product for managing vehicle communication anonymously on wireless vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) networks, the computer program product disposed upon a non-transitory storage medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor of a computer, cause the computer to:
-
establish, in response to a first triggering event of a vehicle with a static device tag and a first key for the vehicle, wherein the first key is based on a first status of the vehicle and the first status of the vehicle relates to a characteristic of the vehicle over a period of time; generate, by using a hashing technique on a combination of the first key and the static device tag, a first anonymous identifier of the vehicle for anonymously identifying the vehicle on a first wireless V2V network; and provide, to the first wireless V2V network, a second status of the vehicle together with the first anonymous identifier, wherein the second status of the vehicle relates to the state of the vehicle to anonymously coordinate with other vehicles on the first wireless V2V network. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
