Claims19
A method of bypassing an authenticity check for a secure control module, comprising:
- receiving authenticity data from a secure source, wherein the authenticity data includes a signature and an identifier (ID) that is unique to the control module;
- programming the control module with the authenticity data;
- and
- bypassing the authenticity check of a control program of the control module based on the authenticity data.
A system for bypassing an authenticity check, comprising:
- a secure control module that includes non-volatile memory;
- and
- a control program that includes authenticity data that is received from a secure source, that stores the authenticity data in the non-volatile memory, and that bypasses the authenticity check of a control program based on the authenticity data, wherein the authenticity data includes a signature and an identifier (ID) that is unique to the control module.
