A telematics system that includes a security controller is provided. The security controller is responsible for ensuring secure access to and controlled use of resources in the vehicle. The security measures relied on by the security controller can be based on digital certificates that grant rights to certificate holders, e.g., application developers. In the case in which applications are to be used with vehicle resources, procedures are implemented to make sure that certified applications do not jeopardize vehicle resources' security and vehicle users' safety. Relationships among interested entities are established to promote and support secure vehicle resource access and usage. The entities can include vehicle makers, communication service providers, communication apparatus vendors, vehicle subsystem suppliers, application developers, as well as vehicle owners/users. At least some of the entities can be members of a federation established to enhance and facilitate secure access and usage of vehicle resources. |

1. A communication system, comprising:
a communication device; a first proprietary resource, wherein the first proprietary resource includes a human machine interface; a second proprietary resource, wherein the second proprietary resource includes a vehicle gateway device; a security controller, wherein the communication device, the first proprietary resource, and the security controller are all located within a first vehicle, wherein the security controller includes a processor, wherein the security controller is operable to monitor communications between any two of the communication device, the first proprietary resource, and the second proprietary resource, wherein only communications that are authenticated by the security controller are allowed between the communication device and the first proprietary resource, and between the communication device and the second proprietary resource, and wherein in response to a request that is authenticated by the security controller in response to the receipt of at least a first certificate by the communication device and that is provided to the security controller, the security controller allows location information of the vehicle provided by a navigation system associated with the first vehicle and vehicle status information provided by the vehicle gateway device to be transmitted by the communication device. |
