Claims14
A vehicular scalable secure gateway system for a vehicle, said vehicular scalable secure gateway system comprising:
- a central security gateway disposed at a vehicle equipped with said vehicular scalable secure gateway system;
- wherein said vehicular scalable secure gateway system comprises a connected gateway and a secure gateway;
- wherein said connected gateway receives wireless communications emanating from external of the vehicle, wherein the wireless communications comprise at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) vehicle-to-vehicle (v2v) communications, (ii) vehicle-to-infrastructure (v2x) communications, (iii) cell tower communications, (iv) BLUETOOTH communications and (iv) Wi-Fi communications;
- wherein wireless communications received at said connected gateway are routed through said secure gateway for communication, via a data communication network of the vehicle, to a system of the vehicle;
- and
- wherein said vehicular scalable secure gateway system is operable to enable a particular security measure based on determination of a need for that particular security measure;
- wherein the particular security measure is selected from the group consisting of (i) basic security measures, (ii) network security measures, (iii) access port security measures, (iv) access point security measures, and (v) wireless communication security measures;
- wherein the basic security measures, when selected, provides enhanced isolation of an on-board diagnostic interface at said secure gateway and enhanced protection of the data communication network of the vehicle;
- wherein the network security measures, when selected, provides the basic security measures and enhanced protection at the vehicle of communications via Ethernet links;
- wherein the access port security measures, when selected, provides the network security measures and enhanced protection of a USB access port of the vehicle;
- wherein the access point security measures, when selected, provides the access port security measures and enhanced protection of one or both of (i) a BLUETOOTH system of the vehicle and (ii) a WiFi system of the vehicle;
- and
- wherein the wireless communication security measures, when selected, provides the access point security measures and enhanced security at the vehicle for 3G/4G/LTE communications.
