Abstract
A method of authenticating a robustly-identifiable system is provided. The method includes causing a processor of a mobile work machine to issue a challenge to a robustly-identifiable sensor module mounted relative to the mobile work machine. The method also includes receiving, by the processor of the mobile work machine, a response from the robustly-identifiable sensor module. The method also includes comparing, with the processor of the mobile work machine, the received response to an expected response to generate a match result. The method also includes selectively initiating trusted operation of the mobile work machine based on the match result.
Claims20
A method of authenticating a robustly-identifiable system, the method comprising:
- causing a processor of a mobile work machine to issue a challenge to a robustly-identifiable sensor module mounted relative to the mobile work machine;
- receiving, by the processor of the mobile work machine, a response from the robustly-identifiable sensor module;
- comparing, with the processor of the mobile work machine, the received response to an expected response to generate a match result;
- and
- selectively initiating trusted operation of the mobile work machine based on the match result.
A method of performing simultaneous machine data capture, the method comprising:
- causing a processor of a mobile work machine to collect data;
- causing the processor of the mobile work machine to watermark the collected data;
- causing the processor of the mobile work machine to perform on-board data authentication of the watermarked data;
- causing the processor of the mobile work machine to request third-party data authentication of the watermarked data;
- and
- causing the processor of the mobile machine to transmit its on-board watermarked data.
