Communication system, vehicle-mounted terminal, roadside device

摘要

There is a need to reduce the certificate verification time in a communication system.;A communication system (10) includes a certificate authority (100) for performing authentication, a roadside device (110), a vehicle-mounted terminal (120), a first server (130), and a second server (140). The vehicle-mounted terminal transmits its own position information to the first server. The certificate authority acquires information about a vehicle-mounted terminal highly likely to appear according to place and time from the first server. The certificate authority allows the second server to verify validity of a certificate for a vehicle-mounted terminal acquired from the first server. The certificate authority generates a first list of vehicle-mounted terminals having valid certificates and a second list of vehicle-mounted terminals having invalid certificates according to place and time based on a verification result. The certificate authority transmits the first list and the second list to the roadside device and the vehicle-mounted terminal. The roadside device and the vehicle-mounted terminal verify a certificate using the received first and second lists. Thus, the certificate verification time is reduced.

主权项

1. A vehicle comprising:
a first terminal configured to transmit and receive information from one of a roadside device and a second terminal mounted to another vehicle, the first terminal comprising: a communication control processing portion configured to perform a process to communicate with one of the roadside device and the second terminal; a storage portion configured to store a first list of vehicle-mounted terminals having valid certificates according to place and time and a second list of vehicle-mounted terminals having invalidated certificates; a signature generation/verification portion configured to:
omit certificate verification and discard a message received by the communication control processing portion if a sender of the massage is in the second list; and omit certificate verification and verify a signature of a message received by the communication control processing portion if a sender of the massage is in the first list; and a processing portion configured to:
confirm an effective place and an effective time in the first list and the second list, anddelete the first list and the second list if the first terminal exists outside the effective place and/or exceeding the effective time.
