  • Patent number: 11915027
    Abstract: An electronic control unit is configured to perform: allocating CPU resources to provide a plurality of virtual machines under a management by a hypervisor; monitoring an abnormality that occurs in one specific virtual machine by another virtual machine different from the specific virtual machine; outputting a stop request that requests stop of the allocation of the CPU resources to the specific virtual machine in a case that the abnormality is detected; and stopping allocation of the CPU resources to the specific virtual machine, by the hypervisor, in response to the stop request. The electronic control unit further comprises a DMA controller.

  • Patent number: 10666630
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a counter, a reception portion, an update portion, a code generation portion, a determination portion, and a transmission portion. The reception portion receives a communication data from a different one of the communication apparatus. The update portion updates a value of the counter. The code generation portion generates a message authentication code based on the communication data received by the reception portion, the value of the counter, and a common key. The determination portion determines whether the message authentication code generated by the code generation portion matches a message authentication code set in the communication data. The transmission portion transmits a synchronization request when a number of times that the determination portion determines a mismatch between the message authentication codes becomes equal to or more than a predetermined number of mismatches.

  • Patent number: 10230716
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus for performing encryption communication with an external apparatus by an encryption communication protocol has an inhibition unit for inhibiting use of a set of algorithms which do not satisfy a predetermined condition among a plurality of sets of algorithms used in the encryption communication protocol. The set of algorithms whose use if inhibited is a set of algorithms which need to transmit a message with a signature of the information processing apparatus to the external apparatus at the time of handshake performed with the external apparatus prior to the encryption communication.
