Vehicle, network component, method, computer program and device for generating an id for an equipped status of a vehicle

1. A method for generating an ID for an equipped status of a vehicle, comprising:

determining a first information on one or more available software components and their software versions;

determining a second information on one or more available hardware components and their hardware versions;

generating a hash value based on the first information, the second information and software content of the one or more software components; and

provisioning of the hash value as an ID for the equipped status of the vehicle,

furthermore comprising saving the hash value in a decentralized database,

wherein saving is performed in a multidimensional graph.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decentralized database corresponds to a database corresponding to a distributed ledger technology.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein saving is unique, and changes to the saved data are detectable by verifying the hash value.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the saving comprises distributing identical copies of the ID to a network with several members.

5. The method of claim 3 , furthermore comprising verification of the equipped status of the vehicle by verifying the generated ID with an ID provided by the vehicle.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the saving comprises distributing identical copies of the ID to a network with several members.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein generating the hash value furthermore is based on one or more elements of the group consisting of a vehicle configuration, a point in time of generation, a vehicle parameter, a maximum speed, an activation of an adaptive distance alert, and an activation of a vehicle-related service.

8. The method of claim 2 , furthermore comprising verification of the equipped status of the vehicle by verifying the generated ID with an ID provided by the vehicle.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the hash value furthermore is based on one or more elements of the group consisting of a vehicle configuration, a point in time of generation, a vehicle parameter, a maximum speed, an activation of an adaptive distance alert, and an activation of a vehicle-related service.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein saving is unique, and changes to the saved data are detectable by verifying the hash value.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the saving comprises distributing identical copies of the ID to a network with several members.

12. The method of claim 9 , furthermore comprising verification of the equipped status of the vehicle by verifying the generated ID with an ID provided by the vehicle.

13. The method of claim 1 , furthermore comprising verification of the equipped status of the vehicle by verifying the generated ID with an ID provided by the vehicle.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the verification of the equipped status is performed each time the vehicle starts.

15. A non-transitory storage medium with instructions for performing the method of claim 1 when the instructions are executed by a computer, a processor, or programmable hardware component.

16. A device comprising a control circuit that is designed to perform the method of claim 1 .

17. A vehicle comprising the device according to claim 16 .

18. A system comprising the vehicle according to claim 17 .

19. A network component comprising the device according to claim 16 .

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decentralized database corresponds to a block chain.
