Systems and methods for cyber-physical vehicle management, detection and control

A system for cyber-physical device management, comprising:

• a cyber-physical device management computing system configured to:
• receive and store authenticating information from an authentication authority for a plurality of authenticated cyber-physical devices,
• receive and store authoritative cyber-physical command computing device registration information from an authoritative cyber-physical device command agency,
• generate a cryptographic authentication token for at least one of the plurality of authenticated cyber-physical devices,
• issue and send the cryptographic authentication token to the corresponding cyber-physical device, and
• communicate with any one of the plurality of authenticated cyber-physical devices to verify, prior to and during operation, the authenticity of the data transmitted by the cyber-physical device using the cryptographic authentication token issued and stored on the cyber-physical device;
• and
• at least one authoritative cyber-physical command computing device registered to the authoritative cyber-physical device command agency and configured to:
• query the cyber-physical device, intercept the cyber-physical device transmissions,
• send a challenge to the cyber-physical device,
• receive a challenge response from the cyber- physical device,
• authenticate the challenge response received from the cyber-physical device, and
• determine if the cyber-physical device is authentic and authorized.
