System and method for performing on-boarding of end devices of vehicles

A method of performing onboarding of at least one end device of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• performing a first level two-way authentication between the vehicle and the at least one end device;
• and
• upon performing the first level two-way authentication, installing software components related to at least one end device from the OEM cloud to the vehicle based on determining availability of the software components in the OEM cloud for onboarding the at least end device in the vehicle,
• wherein the first level two-way authentication between the vehicle and the at least one end device is performed based on nonce values, and wherein the nonce values are configurable and mutually agreed between the at least one end device and the vehicle, wherein performing the first way of authenticating the at least one end device by the computing unit of the vehicle comprises:
• receiving a first encrypted message and a first authentication code corresponding to the encrypted message from the at least one end device, wherein the first encrypted message comprises the SN and the EDN value of the at least one end device, and wherein the first encrypted message is encrypted by at the at least one end device using a first secret key stored in the at least one end device;
• extracting the SN and the EDN value of the at least one end device by decrypting the received first encrypted message using a second secret key stored in the computing unit of the vehicle, wherein the first secret key and the second secret key are same key;
• determining whether the extracted EDN value matches with a EDN value stored in the computing unit of the vehicle;
• transmitting a reject message to the at least one end device indicating authentication failure of the at least one end device if the extracted EDN value does not match with the EDN value stored in the computing unit of the vehicle;
• and
• performing a sub-level of authentication, with the extracted EDN and the EDN value stored in the computing unit.

A system for performing onboarding of at least one end device of a vehicle, comprising:

• a computing unit of the vehicle;
• at least one end device coupled to the computing unit;
• and
• an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) cloud coupled to the vehicle, wherein the system is configured to:
• perform a multi-level authentication of the at least one end device, by:
• performing a first level two-way authentication between the vehicle and the at least one end device, comprises:
• exchanging encrypted messages between the at least one end device and the vehicle, wherein the encrypted messages comprise:
• an EndDeviceNonce (EDN) value and a vehicle nonce (VN) value that are stored in both the at least one end device and the vehicle;
• performing a second level authentication of the at least one end device, through the vehicle, by the OEM cloud, comprises:
• communicating:
• (i) a serial number (SN) of the at least one end device from the vehicle to the OEM cloud;
• (ii) a vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle to the OEM cloud;
• and
• determining by the OEM cloud if the SN is valid for the VIN;
• performing a third level authentication of the at least one end device, by the OEM cloud;
• and
• upon performing the multi-level authentication of the at least one end device, install software components related to at least one end device from the OEM cloud to the vehicle based on determining availability of the software components or the software update in the OEM cloud for onboarding the at least one end device in the vehicle.
