  • Patent number: 10530572
    Abstract: Provided is a key management method to secure security in an onboard network system having multiple electronic control units storing a shared key. In the key management method of the onboard network system including multiple electronic units (ECUs) that perform communication by frames via a bus, a master ECU stores a shared key to be mutually shared with one or more ECUs. Each of the ECUs acquire a session key by communication with the master ECU based on the stored shared key, and after this acquisition, executes encryption processing regarding a frame transmitted or received via the bus, using this session key. In a case where a vehicle in which the onboard network system is installed is in a particular state, the master ECU executes inspection of a security state of the shared key stored by the ECU or the like.

  • Publication number: 20180314571
    Abstract: A communication unit receives a message in a network. A first anomaly detector detects an anomalous message by detecting values of a plurality of monitoring items from the message received by the communication unit and determining whether each of the detected values of the plurality of monitoring items is inside a corresponding first reference range and a corresponding second reference range. The second reference range is narrower than the first reference range. The first anomaly detector detects the message as the anomalous message, when any of the detected values is outside the first reference range, and detects the message as the anomalous message, when any of the detected values is inside the first reference range and is outside the second reference range and when a predetermined rule is satisfied.
