Abstract
A method includes: receiving, from a vehicle approaching a trust zone, an identifier corresponding to an identity of the vehicle; verifying, by a computing device (e.g., an access server at a gate of the trust zone) and using the identifier, the identity of the vehicle; and comparing the identity of the vehicle with a set of authorized identities stored in a database.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory containing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processor to:
- compare an identity of a vehicle approaching a trust zone with a set of authorized identities stored in memory, wherein the trust zone is a geographic region corresponding to an electromagnetic field provided by one or more antennae of access servers in a proximity of the trust zone;
- based on comparing the identity of the vehicle with the set of authorized identities, determine that the vehicle is authorized to enter the trust zone;
- after the vehicle enters the trust zone, monitor activities of the vehicle;
- detect, based on the monitoring, a security risk associated with the vehicle, wherein detecting the security risk comprises an access server comparing the identity of the vehicle to a user authorization database;
- and
- in response to detecting the security risk, send a new device secret to the vehicle, wherein the new device secret is associated with the authorization of the vehicle to enter the trust zone, and wherein the vehicle is configured to, in response to receiving the new device secret, store the new device secret in memory of the vehicle.

A system comprising:
- a database configured to store a distributed ledger in which a set of authorized identities is stored as part of a blockchain;
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory containing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processor to:
- compare an identity of a vehicle approaching a trust zone with a set of authorized identities stored in memory, wherein the trust zone is a geographic region corresponding to an electromagnetic field provided by one or more antennae of access servers in a proximity of the trust zone;
- based on comparing the identity of the vehicle with the set of authorized identities, determine that the vehicle is authorized to enter the trust zone;
- after the vehicle enters the trust zone, monitor activities of the vehicle;
- store a log of the monitored activities in the database;
- detect, based on the monitoring, a security risk associated with the vehicle, wherein detecting the security risk comprises an access server comparing the identity of the vehicle to the database configured to store the distributed ledger;
- and
- in response to detecting the security risk, send a new device secret to the vehicle, wherein the new device secret is associated with the authorization of the vehicle to enter the trust zone, and wherein the vehicle is configured to, in response to receiving the new device secret, store the new device secret in memory of the vehicle.
