  • Patent number: 10805313
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for securely provisioning a roadside unit (RSU) that includes an application certificate, wherein the RSU is geographically restricted according to the application certificate. An enhanced SCMS system may receive a request for an application certificate for the RSU; determine, in response to the request, an operating geolocation for the RSU; verify that the operating geolocation is within the allowed geo-region for the RSU; generate an application certificate that includes the operating geolocation; and provide the application certificate to the RSU device.

  • Publication number: 20200313906
    Abstract: An example system receives certificate requests from clients. Each request can indicate a number of computerized devices needing certificates; a timestamp indicating when the request was transmitted; and a client identifier. The system includes a Quality of Service (QoS) manager that: distributes the requests from the clients across client queues, each of the client queues corresponding to a particular client; and divides requests into smaller subgroups of entries corresponding to a subset of the computerized devices needing certificates. The system can also transmit retrieved entries from the client queues to a certificate management service.
