  • Publication number: 20240054207
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for validating software is provided. The method includes generating a first check value, by a remote computing device, based on a unique value and software of the remote computing device, outputting the first check value and the unique value from the remote computing device to a secure data repository, obtaining, by a secure computing device, an authentic copy of the software of the remote computing device, obtaining, by the secure computing device, the unique value and the first check value from the secure data repository, computing, by the secure computing device, a second check value based on the authentic copy of the software for the remote computing device and the unique value, and determining, by the secure computing device, whether the remote computing device has authentic software based on a comparison of the obtained first check value and the second check value.

  • Patent number: 11828861
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for establishing a confidence level for local operational data for a device within a technological ecosystem, such as the V2X ecosystem. The systems, methods, and devices may perform operations that include: obtaining local operational data for the device; obtaining messages from multiple external devices participating in the ecosystem, wherein each of the messages includes external operational data for the transmitting external device; determining, based on the local operational data and the external operational data from the messages, a confidence level for the local operational data; and executing a remedial action when the confidence level falls below a threshold for the confidence level. The systems and devices may include a local data source that stores the local operational data and a communication interface.
