METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SECURE COMMUNICATION IN A VEHICLE-BASED DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method provides secure communication between a first module and a second module within a vehicle communication network. A first anti-replay counter is provided within the first module, and a second anti-replay counter is provided within the second module. A message is transmitted from the first module to the second module over the vehicle communication network. The message includes a partial counter including only a portion of the contents of the first anti-replay counter, and the message is authenticated based on the partial counter.
