Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for authenticating a computerized sub-system of a vehicle, comprising: (A) at the vehicle: (a) a tele-processor configured to periodically record during a period T1 a flow of messages over a bus of the vehicle's sub-system, and to transmit periodically every period T2 the recorded flow of messages to a remote server via a transceiver; (B) at a remote authentication server: (b) a transceiver configured to receive each of said recorded flow of messages; (c) a profile generator configured to generate from each of said flow of messages a temporary profile; and (d) a comparator configured to compare each of said temporary profiles with a final profile which was previously created based on one or more of flows of messages within the vehicle's bus.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying the source of a message transmitted on the CAN bus of a vehicle, by creating a unique signature for each ECU. The system is further configured to detest malicious activities on a CAN bus system having a given physical configuration. The signature of an ECU is created based on the non-linearity of the CAN bus, by determining from at least one pulse of a read message a training-signature that includes a pair of sub-signatures: a rising-sub-signature of the rising response, and a falling-sub-signature of the falling response, as viewed by said message generating ECU. By reading a plurality of messages from the ECUs operationally integrated on the CAN bus system, a classification & prediction methodology is used to create, for each message generating ECU, from the respective training-signatures, a unique ECU-signature.

Abstract: The disclosed invention is a highly reliable cost effective sound direction detection system. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the system comprises a device which includes two microphones set at a spread of at lease 5 cm from each other, a digital signal processing (DSP) and a command processing board. A pattern recognition algorithm allows the system to recognize the signal of an actual event and distinguish it from echoes and reflections according to several parameters such as the signal's time of arrival, energy, amplitude levels and frequency. The pattern of the recorded signals is analyzed according to prevalent signal patterns and then the real event can be identified. By identifying the signal of the sound event and distinguishing it from background noises and from its reflections, the system can calculate its direction of arrival (DOA) using classical sound direction detection methods.
