Network device, and data sending and receiving system
First Claim
1. A network device of a vehicle, the network device comprising:
- a network interface communicatively coupled to one or more Electronic Control Units via a network bus, wherein each of the one or more Electronic Control Units controls a system of the vehicle using the network bus;
a memory; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the network interface;
wherein the processor;
receives, via the network interface, a plurality of data frames from the one or more Electronic Control Units, wherein the plurality of data frames includes a first data frame and a second data frame and each of the plurality of frames includes an identifier,records, in the memory, a reception time for each of the plurality of data frames,determines, for each of the plurality of data frames, a cycle from a plurality of cycles based on the reception time,on a condition that the first data frame and the second data frame are received within a waiting time, have a same identifier and the cycle of the first data frame is shorter than cycle of the second data frame, determines that an abnormality is detected and performs a defensive operation against the abnormality,on a condition that the first data frame and the second data frame have the same identifier and the second frame is not received within the waiting time, allows the first frame to traverse the network bus.

Abstract
In order to detect and prevent attacks in which the network is infested with unauthorized data to cause malfunction, the invention aims, on the basis of network cycle information, to detect errors and to prevent unauthorized data forwarding in a network system such as a vehicle-mounted network. This network device is provided with a communication unit which receives data, a time management unit which manages the reception time at which data is received, and a control unit which processes data. If, for received data used as a reference, first data is received having the same identifier and a reception interval shorter than a prescribed cycle, the control unit waits to receive data having the same identifier as the first data from the reception time of the received data used as a reference up until the prescribed cycle has elapsed, and if during this interval second data is received having the same identifier as the first data, the control unit determines that an error has occurred and performs cycle abnormality detection processing.
