Design and implementation of a trusted remote remediation framework for vehicle software

With the rapid development of vehicle electronic systems, the vehicle software failure rate has also been rising over time. Providing the convenient and effective maintenance on the vehicle software has become a fundamental block constraining the progress of vehicle electronic industry. A trusted remote remediation framework for vehicle software is presented and realized to enable drivers to online upgrade version or fix bug without needing for driving the vehicles back to the factories or using the specific devices. In this framework, the trusted remediation server takes responsibility for managing and providing the patch programs and the trusted remediation client can download directly from the remediation server to upgrade programs or fix software errors, achieving the self-repair in complex vehicular networks.
