Unauthorized Access Detection

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device having at least one processor, sensor data from a sensor system associated with a vehicle during operation of the vehicle over a plurality of modes of operation;
• computing, by the at least one processor and based on the sensor data, a vehicle fingerprint comprising one or more vehicle characteristics over the plurality of modes of operation;
• monitoring, by the at least one processor, additional received sensor data from the sensor system during further operation of the vehicle;
• determining, by the at least one processor, whether an anomaly exists based on comparing the additional received sensor data to the vehicle fingerprint;
• and
• based upon determining that an anomaly exists, providing, by the at least one processor, an alert to a communication interface associated with the vehicle.

A system comprising:

• a first computing device associated with a vehicle, wherein the first computing device comprises:
• a processor;
• at least one sensor configured to measure a vehicle characteristic during operation of the vehicle;
• a wireless communication interface;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first computing device to:
• measure, using the at least one sensor, vehicle operation data;
• a second computing device in signal communication with the first computing device, wherein the second device comprises:
• a processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:
• receive, from the first computing device and for a plurality of modes of operation, vehicle operation data;
• determine a vehicle fingerprint based on the vehicle operation data;
• receive additional vehicle operation data from the at least one sensor during additional operation of the vehicle;
• determine whether a deviation exists based on comparing the received additional vehicle operation data to the vehicle fingerprint;
• and
• based upon determining that a deviation exists, trigger one or more steps to protect the vehicle.
