Abstract
In some examples, a proxy is provided to enable access of an internal network of a vehicle from an entity coupled to an external network. Responsive to a request received over the external network to access a vehicle component over the internal network, the proxy applies a security policy to determine whether to allow the access of the vehicle component over the internal network.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- providing a proxy to control access to an internal network of a vehicle by entities coupled to an external network;
- exposing, by the proxy, different external application programming interfaces (APIs) to different classes of entities, wherein the different external APIs comprise a first API accessible by a first class of entities over the external network, and a second API accessible by a different second class of entities over the external network, and wherein each of the first API and the second API comprises a respective library of routines to be called by a respective entity;
- and
- responsive to a request received, at the first API, from a first entity over the external network to access a vehicle component over the internal network, applying, by the proxy, a security policy to determine whether to allow access to the vehicle component over the internal network.

A method comprising:
- providing a proxy to control access to an internal network of a vehicle by an entity coupled to an external network;
- responsive to a request received from the entity over the external network to access a vehicle component over the internal network, applying, by the proxy, a security policy to determine whether to allow access to the vehicle component over the internal network;
- assigning different security policies to different functional groups;
- and
- determining a given functional group, of the different functional groups, to which the entity belongs,
- wherein the security policy applied by the proxy is a security policy of the given functional group.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a hardware processor;
- and
- a storage medium storing proxy instructions executable on the hardware processor to:
- receive a request from an entity over an external network that is separate from an internal network of a vehicle;
- responsive to the request, apply a security policy to determine whether to allow access to a vehicle component over the internal network;
- assign different security policies to different functional groups;
- and
- determine a given functional group, of the different functional groups, to which the entity belongs,
- wherein the security policy applied by the proxy instructions is a security policy of the given functional group.
