ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT, APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING CONTROL OPERATIONS ON AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT, AND CORRESPONDING METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS

摘要

Examples relate to an electronic control unit, a method and a computer program for an electronic control unit, and to an apparatus, method and computer program for performing control operations on an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit comprises processing circuitry configured to determine first cryptographic information based on a private key of the electronic control unit and based on a public key of a second entity. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain second cryptographic information via an interface. The processing circuitry is configured to compare the first cryptographic information and the second cryptographic information. The processing circuitry is configured to unlock a control access to the electronic control unit if the second cryptographic information is based on a private key of the second entity and based on a public key of the electronic control unit.
