  • Publication number: 20240314109
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to pairing a first electronic control unit (ECU) to a second ECU. First identification data of the first ECU is transmitted to the second ECU. Second identification data of the second ECU is received from the second ECU. After a request to pair, the first ECU receives session data from a server. The session data includes a session identifier (ID) to identify the pairing, a master session key (MSK), a first token, and security information of the second ECU. The first ECU derives session keys based on the MSK. The session ID and the first token's encryption first token are transmitted to the second ECU. The first ECU receives and decrypts encryption of a second token from the second ECU. Secure communication is established between the first ECU and the second ECU via the session keys after the first ECU validates the second token.
