Application: Enhanced secure onboard communication for can (Patent ID: US20240184734A1)

The patent filed by Renesas Electronics Corp. relates to securing communication between Electronic Control Units (ECUs) by securely transmitting Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol frames via a CAN controller. The method involves receiving a CAN ID and payload from a Central Processing Unit (CPU), incrementing a freshness value, storing it in a CAN controller register, generating an Integrity Check Value (ICV) based on the CAN ID, payload, and a digital key, and creating a frame to be transmitted with the CAN ID, freshness value, payload, and ICV. Additional features include generating the ICV based on payload type, authenticity of the payload, and truncating the ICV.

Furthermore, the method includes initializing the transmitting CAN controller by loading memory with initialized freshness values and digital keys, configuring the CAN controller registers to map CAN IDs to digital key indices, and user-defined configuration mapping for CAN IDs and digital key indices. The method also allows for user input to determine freshness value increment step and involves determining ICV generation based on payload authenticity indicators in the payload. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method for securely transmitting CAN protocol frames to enhance communication security between ECUs.
