Description

  The present invention relates to a network system configured by connecting a plurality of network devices to a common communication path.

  A network system configured by connecting a plurality of network devices to a common communication path is generally known. For example, in the field of vehicles, an in-vehicle network system in which a control unit (ECU: Electronic Control unit) as a network device is connected to a common communication path (bus) is widely used. As communication methods between control units in an in-vehicle network system, CAN (Control Area Network) (registered trademark), CAN-FD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) (registered trademark), FlexRay (registered trademark), Ether Net A communication protocol such as (registered trademark) is known.

  In recent years, with the development of vehicles equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistant System), it has become important to ensure the reliability of communication in an in-vehicle network system. However, the CAN communication protocol generally used in the in-vehicle network system does not include information that can specify the network device of the transmission source and the transmission destination in the message, so that an illegal message transmission by so-called “spoofing” is performed. There is a problem that it is easy. As a countermeasure against this problem, there is a technique for eliminating an illegal message by performing communication using a MAC (Message Authentication Code).

  On the other hand, as the number of electric vehicles is increased, the number of ECUs mounted on one vehicle and the amount of data handled by the ECUs are increasing, and the amount of CAN bus traffic is increasing. When performing communication using the MAC, the MAC is added to the data field of the CAN message, so that the length of the data field that can be included in the message is shortened, resulting in a further increase in traffic volume. Therefore, it is an important issue to reduce the load on the in-vehicle network system while ensuring the reliability of communication.

  For example, in the in-vehicle network system disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, when the communication rule of a message transmitted from another transmission device matches the communication rule of the message, the presence of impersonation is detected. A message to be notified is broadcasted, and then communication by MAC is performed. In other words, in Patent Document 1, normally, communication without using MAC is performed to suppress an increase in communication load, and after impersonation is detected, high-security communication using MAC is performed.

  Moreover, in the vehicle-mounted network system of the following patent document 2, if a transmission apparatus receives the message containing the same transmission source ID as self ID, it will judge that the impersonation exists. In this case, both the transmitting device and the receiving device change their own IDs to new IDs, thereby ensuring communication security.

International Publication No. 2015/182103 JP 2014-11621 A

  In the technique of Patent Literature 1, since communication using MAC is performed after impersonation is detected, the data length that can be stored in the message is shortened. In order to maintain the same communication speed as before using the MAC, it is necessary to shorten the message transmission cycle, and as a result, the communication load of the network increases. In addition, since it is necessary to mount a security module for performing encryption and decryption by MAC on both the transmission side and the reception side of the message, there is a problem that costs increase.

  In the technique of Patent Document 2, MAC is not used, but it is necessary to add a message with a new ID after spoofing is detected, thereby increasing the amount of messages flowing through the communication path and lowering the communication speed. There is concern.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to ensure both communication reliability and load reduction in a network system in which a plurality of network devices are connected.

  A network system according to a first aspect of the present invention is a network system configured by connecting a plurality of network devices to a common communication path, wherein at least one of the plurality of network devices is a message itself. When a message including a first ID that is an ID being used for transmission is received, it is determined that there is a spoofed network device that uses the first ID, and the network device that has determined that the spoofed network device is present is the spoofing. When a spoofing occurrence notification, which is a message notifying the presence of a network device, is transmitted to the communication path, the network device that has been transmitting and receiving messages using the first ID uses the first ID. Different from the first ID, etc. The network device selects the second ID being used by the network device, and the network device that has been transmitting / receiving the message using the second ID until then stops transmitting / receiving the message using the second ID, Thereafter, the network device that has transmitted and received the message using the first ID transmits and receives the message using the second ID.

  A network system according to a second aspect of the present invention is a network system configured by connecting a plurality of network devices to a common communication path, wherein at least one of the plurality of network devices is a message itself. When a message including a first ID that is an ID used for transmission is received, it is determined that a spoofed network device exists, and a network device that has determined that a spoofed network device exists notifies the presence of a spoofed network device. When transmitting to the communication path, the network device that has been transmitting and receiving messages using the first ID stops sending and receiving messages using the first ID, and the first ID and Select the second ID that other network devices are using, and then The network device that has been transmitting and receiving messages using the first ID until now, and the network device that has been transmitting and receiving messages using the second ID until then are the second IDs. To send and receive messages alternately.

  A network system according to a third aspect of the present invention is a network system configured by connecting a plurality of network devices to a common communication path, wherein at least one of the plurality of network devices is a message itself. When a message including a first ID that is an ID used for transmission is received, it is determined that a spoofed network device exists, and a network device that has determined that a spoofed network device exists notifies the presence of a spoofed network device. When transmitting to the communication path, the network device that has been transmitting and receiving messages using the first ID stops sending and receiving messages using the first ID, and the first ID and Select the second ID that other network devices are using, and then The network device that has previously transmitted and received messages using the first ID and the network device that has been previously transmitted and received messages using the second ID communicate with different data areas. A message describing the contents is transmitted and received using the second ID.

  The network system according to the first aspect of the present invention is a network system configured by connecting a plurality of network devices to a common communication path, and is used for transmitting and receiving messages to each of the plurality of network devices. Are assigned, and at least one of the plurality of network devices determines that a spoofed network device exists when it receives a message including a first ID that is an ID that is being used to transmit the message, When the network device that has determined that there is an impersonation network device transmits a message notifying the presence of the impersonation network device to the communication path, the network device that has transmitted and received the message using the first ID until then, Sending and receiving messages using the first ID Is selected, a second ID different from the first ID is selected from among a plurality of IDs assigned to itself, and thereafter, message transmission / reception is performed using the second ID. .

  According to the network system of the present invention, it is possible to prevent a communication failure caused by spoofing and prevent a decrease in communication reliability. Further, since no MAC is used and no new ID is added, an increase in communication load in the network system can be suppressed.

It is a figure which shows the data frame structure of the message used by CAN communication.

It is a figure which shows the example by which the impersonation network apparatus was connected to the network system. It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the principal part of the network apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a block diagram which shows the example of the hardware constitutions of a network device. It is a block diagram which shows the example of the hardware constitutions of a network device. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation of the network system according to the first embodiment. 10 is a diagram showing a data frame structure of a message used in Embodiment 3. FIG.

<Embodiment 1>
In the following embodiment, an example in which the CAN communication protocol is used as a communication protocol of the network system is shown. However, the present invention can be widely applied to communication protocols such as CAN-FD, FlexRay, Ether Net, etc., in which the identification information of the transmission source and the transmission destination is not included in the message.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a data structure of a standard format message used in CAN communication. A group of digital signals included in a message is called a “frame”. The structure of a CAN communication message is schematically shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, a message data frame includes an SOF (Start Of Frame), an ID (identifier), an RTR (Remote Transmission Request), a control field, and a data field. , CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check), CRC delimiter, Ack (Acknowledge), Ack delimiter, and EOF (End Of Frame) fields are included. The numbers in parentheses in FIG. 1 indicate the bit length of each field.

  The SOF indicates the start position of the data frame of the message and is also used for the purpose of synchronizing the frames. The ID is used for identifying the contents of data and the network device on the transmission side. ID and RTR are used to determine the priority of communication arbitration.

  The control field is composed of reserved bits and DLC (Data Length Code). The reserved bit is always set to dominant (0). The DLC is set to a value indicating the data length transmitted in the data field. The data field is a portion of data to be transmitted and can store data of up to 64 bits.

  The CRC and CRC delimiter are used to verify the values of the previously transmitted SOF, ID, control field, and data field. The ACK and ACK delimiter are used to perform an acknowledgment when the network device on the receiving side has received the message correctly. The EOF is used to indicate the end of the data frame.

  Since the present invention mainly relates to message IDs and data fields, description of other fields is omitted below.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the network system according to the embodiment of the present invention. The network system 101 includes a bus 102 that is a common communication path, and a plurality of network devices 111 to 116 connected to the bus 102. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that network system 101 is an in-vehicle network system and network devices 111 to 116 are vehicle ECUs.

  Although the network devices 111 to 116 can be either a message transmission side or a reception side, for convenience of explanation, the network devices 111 and 112 will be described as a transmission side, and the network devices 113 to 116 will be described as a transmission side.

  Different IDs are assigned to the transmission side network devices 111 and 112, respectively. Here, it is assumed that ID “111” is assigned to the transmission side network device 111 and ID “112” is assigned to the transmission side network device 112. In this case, the ID value of the message transmitted by the transmission side network device 111 is “111”, and the ID value of the message transmitted by the transmission side network device 112 is “112”.

  IDs of messages received by the receiving side network devices 113 to 116 are assigned. Here, it is assumed that the ID “111” is assigned to the receiving network devices 113 and 114 and the ID “112” is assigned to the receiving network devices 115 and 116. In this case, the receiving-side network devices 113 and 114 receive a message whose ID value is “111”, and the receiving-side network devices 115 and 116 receive a message whose ID value is “112”. That is, the receiving side network devices 113 and 114 receive the message transmitted from the transmitting side network device 111, and the receiving side network devices 115 and 116 receive the message transmitted from the transmitting side network device 112.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that a network device 117 that performs impersonation (hereinafter referred to as “spoofing network device”) is connected to the bus 102. Here, “spoofing” transmits a message including a fake data field (hereinafter referred to as “spoofed message”) using the same ID used by any of the legitimate network devices for transmitting the message. Refers to that.

  For example, in FIG. 3, when the spoofing network device 117 transmits a spoofed message whose ID value is “111” and the data field format conforms to the regular message format, the receiving network devices 113 and 114 There is a possibility that the forged message is mistaken as a regular message transmitted from the network device 111 and processing based on the fake data included in the forged message is executed. For example, when the receiving side network devices 113 and 114 are ECUs that control the vehicle's EPS (electric power steering) and brakes, a steering wheel operation and a brake operation different from the driver's intention may be performed to cause an accident. There is sex.

  In a network system using a communication protocol such as the CAN protocol in which a message does not include information that can uniquely identify a transmission-side and a reception-side network device, the reception-side network device receives a message from a legitimate network device. Whether it is a transmitted message (hereinafter referred to as a “regular message”) or a spoofed message transmitted by a spoofed network device cannot be determined only by the content of the message. However, when the network device on the transmission side receives a message including the same ID as that used for transmission of the message, the transmission side network device can determine that the message is a forged message.

  Therefore, in the network system 101 according to the present embodiment, the transmitting-side network devices 111 and 112 detect the impersonation message, thereby detecting the presence of the spoofed network device. When the transmission-side network devices 111 and 112 detect the presence of the spoofed network device, the transmitting-side network devices 111 and 112 transmit “spoofing notification” that is a message notifying the presence of the spoofed network device to the other network devices.

  For example, when the spoofing network device 117 transmits a forged message with an ID value of “111”, the forged message is detected by the transmitting side network device 111 using the ID “111” for transmitting the message, and the transmitting side network An impersonation occurrence notification message is transmitted from the device 111. The receiving-side network devices 113 and 114 can recognize the presence of the spoofing network device 117 using the ID “111” by receiving the spoofing occurrence notification message transmitted from the transmitting-side network device 111. However, even in that case, the receiving-side network devices 113 and 114 cannot determine whether the received message is a forged message or a regular message.

  Therefore, in the network system 101 according to the present embodiment, after a forged message is detected, transmission and reception of a message using the same ID (“111” in the above example) as the detected forged message is prohibited. The side network devices 113 to 116 are prevented from receiving the forged message. Further, an alternative ID different from the ID of the forged message is assigned to the network devices so that the network devices that have been using the same ID as the forged message can continue to transmit and receive regular messages.

  Here, the alternative ID is assumed to be in use by another legitimate network device for message transmission / reception. In this case, the same ID is assigned to the two transmission side network devices, which may increase the communication load. Therefore, the network device that has been using the same ID as the alternative ID until then stops sending and receiving messages.

  Hereinafter, the ID of the spoofed message is referred to as “an ID that is subject to impersonation”, and a network device that uses the same ID as the ID of the impersonation message is referred to as “a network device that is subject to impersonation”.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a main part of the network device according to the present embodiment, and shows a part related to a message transmission / reception operation in the network device. Each of the network devices 111 to 116 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 includes the configuration of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the network device according to the present embodiment includes a reception unit 1, an extraction unit 2, a data calculation unit 3, an impersonation detection calculation unit 4, a transmission ID database 5, an alternative ID database 6, and an alternative ID selection unit 7. A message creation unit 8 and a transmission unit 9 are provided.

  The receiving unit 1 receives a message flowing on the bus 102. The extraction unit 2 separates the received message into fields and transfers them to various arithmetic units. Here, as the calculation unit, the data calculation unit 3 that performs calculation processing on the data included in the data data field of the received message, and the impersonation message is detected based on the ID of the received message. An impersonation detection calculation unit 4 that detects existence is shown.

  In the transmission ID database 5, all ID values used by the network device for transmitting messages are registered. The impersonation detection calculation unit 4 determines that the message is a fake message when the ID value extracted by the extraction unit 2 from the received message matches the ID value registered in the transmission ID database 5; Detects the presence of spoofed network devices.

  In the alternative ID database 6, one or more IDs that are different from the IDs registered in the transmission ID database 5 and are being used by other network devices are registered as alternative ID candidates. Each substitute ID registered in the substitute ID database 6 is associated with each ID registered in the substitute ID database 6. This association logic (rule) is common to all the network devices 111 to 116 configuring the network system 101.

  The alternative ID selection unit 7 selects an alternative ID that replaces the ID used so far when the network device is to be impersonated, among the alternative ID candidates registered in the alternative ID database 6. Select from. The logic (rule) by which the alternative ID selection unit 7 selects an alternative ID is also common to all the network devices 111 to 116 configuring the network system 101.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when an alternative ID is assigned to the network device that is the target of impersonation, the same ID is assigned to the two transmission side network devices. The network device that has been using the same ID as before stops sending and receiving messages. Therefore, the alternative ID selected by the alternative ID selection unit 7 is used for a message that causes no problem in operation of the vehicle even if transmission / reception is stopped, such as a message for controlling a function that is not currently used by the driver. It is necessary to limit to the ID which is.

  Various logics for the alternative ID selection unit 7 to select an alternative ID are assumed depending on the case. For example, during daytime hours, if the ID of the message that controls the infrequently used headlamps is selected as an alternative ID, or if it can be judged that it is not raining by the rain sensor, a less frequently used wiper can be used. For example, the ID of a message to be controlled may be selected as an alternative ID. Alternatively, if the ID that was impersonated was the ID of a message that imposed functional safety requirements, taking into account the ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) of the function of the ECU that is the destination of the message A method of selecting an ID of a message that is less likely to be a security breach is also conceivable.

  Further, in order to ensure communication stability, each ID stored in the transmission ID database 5 may be associated with an alternative ID having a higher priority. Further, when the alternative ID selection unit 7 selects an alternative ID, an ID having the highest priority may be selected from among alternative ID candidates stored in the alternative ID database 6.

  The message creation unit 8 collects the ID value selected by the alternative ID selection unit 7 and the output value of the data calculation unit 3 to create a CAN message. The transmission unit 9 converts the message created by the message creation unit 8 into a format compatible with the CAN protocol, and transmits the converted message to the bus 102.

  5 and 6 are diagrams each illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of a main part of the network device. Each element (reception unit 1, extraction unit 2, data calculation unit 3, spoofing detection calculation unit 4, transmission ID database 5, alternative ID database 6, alternative ID selection unit 7, message creation unit 8 of the network device shown in FIG. The transmission unit 9) is realized by, for example, the processing circuit 50 shown in FIG. That is, the processing circuit 50 is based on the reception unit 1 that receives a message flowing on the bus 102, the data calculation unit 3 that performs calculation processing on data included in the data data field of the received message, and the ID of the received message. An impersonation detection calculation unit 4 that detects the presence of an impersonation network device, a transmission ID database 5 in which ID values used by the network device for message transmission are registered, an alternative ID database 6 in which alternative IDs are registered, An alternative ID selection unit 7 that selects an alternative ID instead of an ID when the network device becomes a target of impersonation, a message creation unit 8 that creates a message to be sent, and a transmission unit that sends the created message 9. Dedicated hardware may be applied to the processing circuit 50, or a processor (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit, processing unit, arithmetic unit, microprocessor, microcomputer, Digital, which executes a program stored in the memory Signal Processor) may be applied.

  When the processing circuit 50 is dedicated hardware, the processing circuit 50 corresponds to, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a processor programmed in parallel, an ASIC, an FPGA, or a combination thereof. To do. Each function of each element of the main part of the network device may be realized by a plurality of processing circuits, or these functions may be realized by a single processing circuit.

  FIG. 6 shows a hardware configuration of a main part of the network device when the processing circuit 50 is configured using a processor. In this case, the function of each element of the main part of the network device is realized by a combination of software and the like (software, firmware, or software and firmware). Software or the like is described as a program and stored in the memory 52. The processor 51 as the processing circuit 50 implements the functions of the respective units by reading out and executing the program stored in the memory 52. That is, the main part of the network device receives, when executed by the processing circuit 50, a process for registering an ID used by the network device to transmit a message and a substitute ID instead, and a message flowing on the bus 102. Processing, calculation processing on data contained in the data data field of the received message, processing for detecting the presence of a spoofed network device based on the received message ID, and when the network device is subject to impersonation As a result, a process of selecting an alternative ID and changing the ID used by the network device to the alternative ID, a process of creating a message to be transmitted, and a process of transmitting the created message are executed as a result. A memory 52 for storing the program to be stored is provided. In other words, it can be said that this program causes a computer to execute the operation procedure and method of each element of the main part of the network device. Note that the storage areas of the transmission ID database 5 and the alternative ID database 6 are secured in a part of the memory 52.

  Here, the memory 52 is non-volatile such as RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), etc. Or a volatile semiconductor memory, HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a magnetic disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, a compact disk, a mini disk, DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), its drive device, etc. correspond.

  The configuration in which the function of each element of the main part of the network device is realized by either hardware or software has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which some elements of the main part of the network device are realized by dedicated hardware and another part of the elements is realized by software or the like. For example, the functions of some elements are realized by the processing circuit 50 as dedicated hardware, and the processing circuit 50 as the processor 51 reads a program stored in the memory 52 for the other some elements. The function can be realized by executing.

  As described above, the main part of the network device can realize the above-described functions by hardware, software, or the like, or a combination thereof.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the network system 101 according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 7, steps in which the same processing is performed by a plurality of network devices are denoted by common reference numerals for each step (specifically, steps S109, S110, and S114). In the following description, the ID value of each message is shown in parentheses.

  Before spoofing occurs, the network devices 111 to 116 perform normal information communication using IDs stored in the respective transmission ID databases 5 (steps S101 to S104). That is, the transmission side network device 111 transmits a message (ID = 111), and the reception side network devices 113 and 114 receive the message. Further, the transmission side network device 112 transmits a message (ID = 112), and the reception side network devices 115 and 116 receive the message.

  Here, it is assumed that the impersonation network device 117 is connected to the bus 102, or the impersonation network device 117 connected in advance to the bus 102 starts its activity, and the impersonation message (ID = 111) is transmitted from the impersonation network device 117. Assume (step S105). That is, the transmission-side network device 111 is a network device that is a target of impersonation, and the ID “111” is an ID that is a target of impersonation.

  When the spoofing detection calculation unit 4 of the transmission-side network device 111 detects that there is a message including the ID “111” being used in the message flowing through the bus 102, the spoofing detection calculation unit 4 determines that the message is a spoofed message. Is detected (step S106). In the transmission-side network device 111 that detects the occurrence of impersonation, the message creation unit 8 creates a message for impersonation occurrence notification (ID = 111), and the transmission unit 9 transmits it (step S107). The spoofing occurrence notification message (ID = 111) transmitted from the transmission-side network device 111 is received by the reception-side network devices 113 and 114 (step S108).

  Thereafter, in each of the transmission-side network device 111 and the reception-side network devices 113 and 114, the alternative ID selection unit 7 selects one of the alternative IDs stored in the alternative ID database 6 (step S109). The ID used for message transmission / reception is changed to an alternative ID (step S110).

  In the transmission-side network device 111 and the reception-side network devices 113 and 114, the logic for associating the ID registered in the transmission ID database 5 with the alternative ID registered in the alternative ID database 6, and the alternative ID selection unit 7 Since the logic for selecting an alternative ID is common, the alternative ID selection unit 7 selects the same alternative ID. Therefore, the transmission side network device 111 and the reception side network devices 113 and 114 do not perform communication for notifying each other of the replacement ID, and the same replacement is made for all of the transmission side network device 111 and the reception side network devices 113 and 114. An ID is set. This prevents the alternative ID values set in the transmission-side network device 111 and the reception-side network devices 113 and 114 from leaking to the spoofing network device 117. Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the ID “112” used by the transmission-side network device 112 and the reception-side network devices 115 and 116 is used as an alternative ID, and the transmission-side network device 111 and the reception-side network device 113. , 114 is assumed to be set.

  When the alternative ID “112” is set in the transmission-side network device 111 and the reception-side network devices 113 and 114, the transmission-side network device 111 uses the ID “112” until now. A transmission / reception stop request (ID = 112), which is a message requesting to stop transmission / reception of a message using ID “112”, is transmitted to the receiving-side network devices 115 and 116 (step S111).

  The transmission side network device 111 and the reception side network devices 113 and 114 to which the alternative ID “112” is set can transmit and receive a message using the alternative ID “112”. However, since the same ID is set in the two transmission-side network devices 111 and 112, there is a possibility that the communication load of the network system increases if message transmission / reception is started immediately. Therefore, the transmission-side network device 111 waits without transmitting a message using the ID “112” (step S112). Further, the receiving side network devices 113 and 114 stand by without receiving a message using the ID “112” (step S113).

  The transmission / reception stop request (ID = 112) transmitted from the transmission-side network device 111 is received by the transmission-side network device 112 and the reception-side network devices 115 and 116 (step S114). The transmission-side network device 112 that has received the transmission / reception stop request (ID = 112) transmits a transmission stop notification (ID = 112), which is a message for notifying that the transmission side network device 112 stops transmission of a message using the ID “112”. Then (step S115), the message transmission is stopped (step S116). In addition, the receiving-side network devices 115 and 116 that have received the transmission / reception stop request (ID = 112) stop receiving messages (step S117).

  When the transmission-side network device 111 receives the transmission stop notification (ID = 112) transmitted from the transmission-side network device 112 (YES in step S118), the transmission-side network device 111 requests to receive a message including the alternative ID “112”. A reception start request (ID = 112) is transmitted (step S119). The reception start request (ID = 112) transmitted from the transmission side network device 111 is received by the reception side network devices 113 and 114 (step S120). Thereafter, the transmission-side network device 111 and the reception-side network devices 113 and 114 transmit and receive messages using the alternative ID “112”. That is, the transmission side network device 111 transmits a message (ID = 112) (step S121), and the reception side network devices 113 and 114 receive the message (step S122). At this time, the content of the message transmitted and received by the transmission-side network device 111 and the reception-side network devices 113 and 114 is the same as that before the impersonation occurred.

  Although not shown in FIG. 7, for example, if a certain period of time has elapsed after the presence of the spoofing network device 117 is detected, and it is not detected, the transmission side network device 111 using the alternative ID and the reception are received. The side network devices 113 and 114 may return the ID used by themselves for message transmission / reception to the state before the spoofing network device 117 is detected, that is, the ID “111”.

  As described above, according to the network system 101 of the present embodiment, the transmission-side network device 111 and the reception-side network devices 113 and 114 that have used the ID to be impersonated can be used even after impersonation occurs. The message can be continuously transmitted and received using the alternative ID. In addition, the transmission side network device 112 and the reception side network devices 115 and 116 that have been using the same ID as the alternative ID until then stop transmitting / receiving messages, thereby suppressing an increase in communication load.

  The transmission-side network device 111 that has transmitted the spoofing occurrence notification or the receiving-side network devices 113 and 114 that have received the notification may issue a warning indicating the presence of the impersonation device to the user. Further, the transmission-side network device 111 that has transmitted the spoofing occurrence notification or the receiving-side network devices 113 and 114 that have received the notification records a log indicating that the presence of the impersonation network device 117 has been detected. Also good.

<Embodiment 2>
In the first embodiment, after an alternative ID is set in the network device that is the target of impersonation, transmission and reception of messages by the network device that has been using the same ID as the alternative ID is stopped.

  In the second embodiment, a network device in which an alternative ID is set and a network device that has been using the same ID as the alternative ID so far alternately transmit and receive messages using the same ID. To do. The format of the field other than the ID of the message transmitted / received by the network device in which the alternative ID is set and the format of the field other than the ID of the message transmitted / received by the network device that has been using the same ID as the alternative ID until Shall be different from each other.

  Note that the operations (steps S101 to S110 in FIG. 7) from when spoofing occurs until an alternative ID is set for the network device that is the target of impersonation are the same as those in the first embodiment. Description is omitted.

  Here, as in the example of FIG. 7, it is assumed that the transmission-side network device 111 is a target of impersonation, and the ID that is being used by the transmission-side network device 112 is set to the transmission-side network device 111 as “112” as an alternative ID. Assuming that the transmission side network device 111 and the transmission side network device 112 alternately transmit messages, the operation will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG.

  In the transmission side network devices 111 and 112, when the reception unit 1 receives a message including the ID “112”, the extraction unit 2 transfers the data field of the message to the data calculation unit 3. Based on the format of the data field, the data operation unit 3 determines whether the source of the message is the transmission-side network device 111 or the transmission-side network device 112, so that its own network device is continuously twice. Avoid sending messages. In other words, if the transmission source of the received message is its own network device, it is determined that the next network device is not the number to be transmitted, and the message stored in the transmission unit 9 is discarded and waiting for reception. Put it in a state. If the transmission source of the received message is not the own network device, it is determined that the next network device is the next transmission number, and the transmission unit 9 transmits the message.

  The determination of the transmission source of the message in the data calculation unit 3 may be made based on whether or not the format of the data field of the message matches the format specified by the own network device, or specified by the other network device. Judgment may be made based on whether the format matches.

  As another method in which the transmission-side network device 111 and the transmission-side network device 112 alternately transmit messages, both the transmission-side network devices 111 and 112 may double the transmission period to motivate the message. A method is also conceivable in which each of them transmits.

  Next, an operation in which the receiving-side network devices 113 to 116 appropriately receive messages having the same ID that are alternately transmitted by the transmitting-side network devices 111 and 112 will be described.

  In general, when an CAN receiving-side network device detects an abnormality in the format of a received message, it transmits an error message (referred to as an “error frame”) and does not use the received data. Also, the control specification is such that reception is stopped when the receiving side network device transmits an error frame a certain number of times within a certain period.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, even when an abnormality is detected in the format of the received message, a control logic that does not transmit an error frame is adopted unless it is detected continuously more than a predetermined number of times. As a result, even if the transmission side network devices 111 and 112 transmit messages having the same ID and different data frame formats, as long as the transmission is performed alternately, no error frame is generated, and the reception side The network devices 113 to 116 can receive these messages.

  In the present embodiment, the transmission cycle of messages by the transmission side network devices 111 and 112 is doubled, and the operating speed of the transmission side network devices 111 and 112 is apparently reduced. It is necessary to select an ID of a message for a purpose that does not violate the safety and vehicle safety requirements as an alternative ID. Further, for example, according to the “warning and degeneration” concept, the user (mainly the driver of the vehicle) is warned via HMI (Human Machine Interface) that the functions of the transmission side network devices 111 and 112 are deteriorated. Thus, a method may be adopted in which the control is continued or the control is continued for a certain period until the vehicle stops at a safe place. Further, the transmission side network devices 111 and 112 may perform operations with their functions restricted in accordance with a decrease in the operation speed of the transmission side network devices 111 and 112.

<Embodiment 3>
In the second embodiment, the message transmission timing is divided between the network device in which the alternative ID is set and the network device that has been using the same ID as the alternative ID, so that both continue to transmit the message. I was able to do it.

  In the third embodiment, a network device in which an alternative ID is set and a network device that has been using the same ID as the alternative ID until now separate the use area (write area) of the data field of the message, Both continue to send messages. For example, in FIG. 8, the transmission side network device 111 in which the alternative ID “112” is set and the transmission side network device 112 that has been using the ID “112” use the data fields of the same message separately. Is an example of the data frame structure of the message.

  Such processing is possible when the sum of the bit lengths of the data fields of the messages transmitted by both is 64 bits or less. For this reason, the alternative ID selection unit 7 of the network device to be impersonated may select the alternative ID based on the transmission period of other network devices and the bit length of empty bits.

  Note that the operation (steps S101 to S110 in FIG. 7) from when spoofing occurs until an alternative ID is set to the network device that is the target of impersonation is the same as in the first embodiment.

  As in the present embodiment, in order to realize a “carpooling type” message, one of the network device in which the alternative ID is set and the network device that has been using the same ID as the alternative ID until then transmits. The message must be received once by the other side and the data in its own use area in the data field of the message must be overwritten. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, it is necessary to specify writable bits in both network devices.

  On the other hand, the receiving side network device using the alternative ID and the same ID may receive the message independently. However, also in the receiving side network device, the writable bit of each transmitting side network device needs to be specified.

<Embodiment 4>
In the first to third embodiments, the substitute ID registered in the substitute ID database 6 of each network device is an ID that is being used by another network device. However, in the fourth embodiment, the other network device is in a normal state. It is assumed that an ID that is not used (when impersonation does not occur) is registered in advance in the substitute ID database 6 as a substitute ID. That is, in the fourth embodiment, alternative IDs that do not overlap with normal IDs of the self and other network devices are registered in advance in the alternative ID database 6 of each of the plurality of network devices.

  Note that the operation (steps S101 to S110 in FIG. 7) from when spoofing occurs until an alternative ID is set to the network device that is the target of impersonation is the same as in the first embodiment.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the impersonation network device 117 is connected to the bus 102 of the network system 101 and the transmission-side network device 111 detects the presence of the impersonation network device 117. In this case, in the transmission side network device 111, the transmission unit 9 transmits an impersonation occurrence notification to the reception side network devices 113 and 114, and the alternative ID selection unit 7 sets the ID used by the transmission side network device 111 as an alternative ID. change. As the alternative ID value at this time, for example, “121” or the like that is not used by another network device of the network system 101 is selected.

  In the receiving side network devices 113 and 114 that have received the spoofing notification, the alternative ID selection unit 7 changes the ID used by the receiving side network devices 113 and 114 to the alternative ID. Also in this embodiment, the transmission side network device 111 and the reception side network devices 113 and 114 have the same logic (rule) for the alternative ID selection unit 7 to select an alternative ID, and the reception side network devices 113 and 114 have the same logic. Also, an alternative ID (for example, “121”) having the same value as that of the transmission-side network device 111 is set.

  The transmission-side network device 111 and the reception-side network devices 113 and 114 can continuously transmit and receive messages by using the alternative ID. Further, since these alternative IDs do not overlap with the IDs used by the transmission-side network device 112 and the reception-side network devices 115 and 116, the transmission-side network device 112 and the reception-side network devices 115 and 116 are also the same as before. You can continue to send and receive messages.

  It should be noted that the present invention can be freely combined with each other within the scope of the invention, and each embodiment can be appropriately modified or omitted.
