1. A vehicle, comprising:
- a power source to propel the vehicle;
a user interface to receive commands from an occupant and provide output to the occupant;
a plurality of on board sensors to sense an operating parameter of the vehicle;
a computer readable medium for storing multiple authentication factors; and
an on board microprocessor, coupled with the computer readable medium, that is programmed to;
receive and transmit the multiple authentication factors or a key derived therefrom to a remote server to authenticate the vehicle or a vehicle occupant to the remote server, the multiple authentication factors comprising a plurality of an electronic address of a portable communication device of the occupant sensed by an on board sensor, a wireless remote signal description sensed by an on board sensor, a vehicle-related identifier, a vehicle parameter sensed by the on board processor, an environmental parameter sensed by the on board processor, and a passcode received by the microprocessor from the remote server.

Abstract
A vehicle includes an on board microprocessor that is programmed to receive and transmit multiple authentication factors or a key derived therefrom to a remote server to authenticate the vehicle or a vehicle occupant to a remote server. The multiple authentication factors comprise a plurality of an electronic address of a portable communication device of the occupant sensed by an on board sensor, a wireless remote signal description sensed by an on board sensor, a vehicle-related identifier, a vehicle parameter sensed by the on board processor, an environmental parameter sensed by the on board processor, and a passcode received by the microprocessor from the remote server.

10. A method, comprising:
-
collecting, by a vehicle microprocessor and on board sensor, multiple authentication factors, the multiple authentication factors comprising a plurality of an electronic address of a portable communication device of the occupant, a wireless remote signal description, a biometric factor of the occupant, a vehicle-related identifier, a sensed vehicle parameter, a sensed environmental parameter, and a passcode received from a remote server; generating, by the microprocessor, the key from the multiple authentication factors using the multiple authentication factors as a seed value; and transmitting the key to the remote server to authenticate a vehicle or a vehicle occupant to the remote server. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a remote server from a vehicle microprocessor, a plurality of authentication factors or a key derived therefrom, the plurality of authentication factors comprising a plurality of an electronic address of a portable communication device of the occupant, a wireless remote signal description, a biometric factor of the occupant, a vehicle-related identifier, a sensed vehicle parameter, a sensed environmental parameter, and a passcode received from the remote server; comparing the plurality of authentication factors or a key derived therefrom against one or more corresponding stored values; and applying the following rules; when the one or more corresponding values match the plurality of authentication factors or a key derived therefrom, the vehicle or a vehicle occupant thereof is authenticated successfully and a transaction between the vehicle and remote server is enabled; and when the one or more corresponding values do not match the plurality of authentication factors or a key derived therefrom, the vehicle or a vehicle occupant thereof is not authenticated successfully and the transaction between the vehicle and remote server is not enabled. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
