Secured hd map services using blockchain

A system for implementing secure high-definition map services, the system comprising:

• a processor subsystem;
• and
• a storage including instructions, which when executed by the processor subsystem, cause the processor subsystem to:
• receive map data from a remote data source;
• authenticate the remote data source;
• obtain an identifier of the remote data source;
• add the map data to an entry in an immutable log when the remote data source is authenticated, the entry having an entry identifier;
• store an association between the identifier of the remote data source and the entry identifier in a secure store;
• and
• incorporate the map data into a master map.

A method of implementing secure high-definition map services, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a computer server, map data from a remote data source;
• authenticating the remote data source;
• obtaining an identifier of the remote data source;
• adding the map data to an entry in an immutable log when the remote data source is authenticated, the entry having an entry identifier;
• storing an association between the identifier of the remote data source and the entry identifier in a secure store;
• and
• incorporating the map data into a master map.

At least one machine-readable medium including instruction for implementing secure high-definition map services, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

• receive map data from a remote data source;
• authenticate the remote data source;
• obtain an identifier of the remote data source;
• add the map data to an entry in an immutable log when the remote data source is authenticated, the entry having an entry identifier;
• store an association between the identifier of the remote data source and the entry identifier in a secure store;
• and
• incorporate the map data into a master map.
