International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04L 29/12

Abstract:

A method includes enabling, by a tethering device that is tethered to a tethered device, a firewall to redirect network traffic from the tethered device to an authentication application executing on the tethering device. The method also includes receiving, by the tethering device from the tethered device, a user certificate of the tethered device during an authentication process. The method further includes verifying, by the tethering device, the user certificate of the tethered device using a certificate authority (CA) certificate of the tethered device that is installed on the tethering device. In addition, the method includes, in response to successful verification of the user certificate of the tethered device, disabling the firewall to allow the network traffic to and from the tethered device.

International Classification:

G06F 21/51
G06F 21/60

Abstract:

An apparatus and method of a hardware isolated secure element protecting a plurality of mission critical subsystems are provided. The method includes performing an actuation operation received across an unsecure path that modifies the state of a mission critical subsystem, performing a diagnostic operation received across the unsecure path that requests state information of the mission critical subsystem, storing information used to determine which of the diagnostic operation and the actuation operation received across the unsecure path are performed, and flashing an execution image of an electronic control unit when the execution image of the electronic control unit is received across the unsecure path.
