System and method for validating vehicle hardware

A method comprising:

• receiving, from a target hardware, an attestation request along with a cryptographic signature;
• validating the attestation request based on the cryptographic signature;
• obtaining, from the target hardware in response to a successful validation of the attestation request, an attestation parameter of the target hardware;
• instructing the target hardware to perform a proof of work (PoW);
• validating a result of performing the PoW by the target hardware based on the obtained attestation parameter of the target hardware;
• and
• specifying, in response to a successful validation of the result of performing the PoW, the target hardware as attested.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon instructions executable by at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, from a target hardware, an attestation request along with a cryptographic signature;
• validating the attestation request based on the cryptographic signature;
• obtaining, from the target hardware in response to a successful validation of the attestation request, an attestation parameter of the target hardware;
• instructing the target hardware to perform a proof of work (PoW);
• validating a result of performing the PoW by the target hardware based on the obtained attestation parameter of the target hardware;
• and
• specifying, in response to a successful validation of the result of performing the PoW, the target hardware as attested.
