Systems and methods for tamper evident electronic detection

An autonomous vehicle, comprising:

• a vehicle computing system comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• generating, as a current key pair, a first key pair comprising a first private key and a first public key as part of an autonomous vehicle registration process;
• providing the first public key to one or more remote computing systems;
• determining whether a reset event occurred at the autonomous vehicle;
• in response to determining that the reset event occurred, discarding the first key pair as the current key pair and generating a second key pair as the current key pair, the second key pair comprising a second private key and a second public key;
• receiving a status query from one of the one or more remote computing systems;
• generating a response to the status query, the response being signed using either the first private key or the second private key;
• and
• providing the response to the one of the one or more remote computing systems.

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

• generating, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a first key pair comprising a first private key and a first public key to be stored as a current key pair as part of a vehicle registration process;
• providing, by the computing system, the first public key to one or more remote computing systems;
• determining, by the computing system, whether a reset event occurred at a vehicle;
• in response to determining that the reset event occurred, discarding the first key pair as the current key pair and generating, by the computing system, a second key pair comprising a second private key and a second public key as the current key pair;
• receiving, by the computing system, a status query from one of the one or more remote computing systems;
• generating, by the computing system, a response to the status query, the response being signed using either the first private key or the second private key;
• and
• providing, by the computing system, the response to the one of the one or more remote computing systems.
