Solution Overview

Problem

Existing V2X communication systems face challenges in efficiently acquiring pseudonym certificates due to high latency and low performance, particularly in the generation and management of certificates using conventional public key infrastructure (PKI) systems.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for processing pseudonym certificates on-board apparatuses, utilizing a secret key stored in a security storage unit to generate and manage pseudonym certificates locally, reducing reliance on external authorities and optimizing the certificate generation process through pipelining and direct data access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional PKI systems are used for pseudonym certificate generation and management, then certificate security is maintained through centralized authority, but system latency increases and performance decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecertificate securityVSAvoidsystem latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized certificate management function into distributed components. Each on-board apparatus maintains its own secret key and security storage unit, enabling local certificate generation without continuous centralized authority involvement. This segmentation reduces latency while maintaining security through distributed trust.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-generating and storing secret keys in security storage units before certificate issuance is needed. This allows rapid local certificate generation when required, eliminating the need for real-time centralized key management and reducing system latency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If external authority involvement is maintained for certificate management, then centralized security control is ensured, but network resource usage increases and performance decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecentralized security controlVSAvoidperformance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables self-service by allowing on-board apparatuses to autonomously generate and manage their own pseudonym certificates using locally stored secret keys. This eliminates repeated external authority involvement for each certificate operation, reducing network resource usage and improving performance while maintaining security through the initial trusted key distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
