  • Patent number: 11849324
    Abstract: A detection device includes: a monitoring unit configured to monitor, as target messages, an authorized message being periodically transmitted and the unauthorized message in the in-vehicle network; and a generation unit configured to generate a reference time to be used in a detection process of detecting the unauthorized message; a detection unit configured to perform detection process, based on time difference between a time corresponding to a transmission time of target message based on a monitoring result of the monitoring unit, and the reference time generated by the generation unit. When target message has been determined to be abnormal in the detection process, the generation unit, based on a value obtained by adding a latest statistical value to the reference time, generates a new reference time to be used in the detection process for a target message to be transmitted after the target message having been determined to be abnormal.

    Abstract: An on-board communication device, a computer program, and a message determination method are provided. The on-board communication device determines the propriety of a periodic message based on a reception cycle. The on-board communication device determines the propriety of a received non-periodic message based on the contents of a periodic message determined as being proper. The on-board communication device stores correspondence of periodic messages to be used for determining the propriety of a non-periodic message to the non-periodic message and based on the stored correspondence, determines the propriety of a received non-periodic message based on whether or not the content of each periodic message, corresponding to the received non-periodic message, that has been received immediately before that received non-periodic message and that has been determined by the periodic message determination unit as being proper satisfies a predetermined condition.
