Abstract

A certificate revocation list updating method includes determining by a first road side unit (RSU), based on a first certificate revocation list stored by the first RSU, that a certificate used by a first on board unit (OBU) in a coverage area of the first RSU is revoked, sending, by the first RSU, a first notification message to one or more OBUs in the coverage area of the first RSU, where the first notification message notifies the one or more OBUs to update a certificate revocation list.

Claims (47)

1. An on board unit (OBU), comprising:

at least one processor; and

one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing program instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the OBU to be configured to:

receive a first notification message from a first road side unit (RSU), wherein the first notification message comprises a first certificate revocation list, and wherein the first notification message instructs the OBU to update a currently stored certificate revocation list within a coverage area of the first RSU;

send a confirmation request to a certificate server, wherein the confirmation request requests confirmation from the certificate server whether a certificate used by the OBU within the coverage area of the first RSU is revoked;

receive a response message from the certificate server in response to the confirmation request; and

update the currently stored certificate revocation list to the first certificate revocation list in response to the first notification message.

2. The OBU of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further cause first OBU to be configured to:

send a first request message to the certificate server;

receive a latest certificate revocation list from the certificate server in response to the first request message; and

update the currently stored certificate revocation list to the latest certificate revocation list.

3. The OBU of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further cause first OBU to be configured to:

send a second request message to the first RSU;

receive the first certificate revocation list from the first RSU in response to the second request message; and

update the currently stored certificate revocation list to the first certificate revocation list.

4. The OBU of claim 1 , wherein the first notification message triggers the OBU to request a latest certificate revocation list from the certificate server.

5. The OBU of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further cause the OBU to be configured to send a message to the first RSU that instructs the first RSU to determine that the certificate is revoked when the certificate used for the message is a second certificate corresponding to the currently stored certificate revocation list.

6. A certificate revocation list updating method, comprising:

receiving, by an on board unit (OBU), a first notification message from a first road side unit (RSU), wherein the first notification message comprises a first certificate revocation list, and wherein the first notification message instructs the OBU to update a currently stored certificate revocation list within a coverage area of the first RSU;

sending, by the OBU, a confirmation request to a certificate server, wherein the confirmation request requests confirmation from the certificate server whether a certificate used by the OBU within the coverage area of the first RSU is revoked;

receiving, by the OBU, a response message from the certificate server in response to the confirmation request; and

updating, by the OBU, the currently stored certificate revocation list to the first certificate revocation list in response to the first notification message.

7. The certificate revocation list updating method of claim 6 , wherein after the receiving, the certificate revocation list updating method further comprises:

sending, by the OBU, a first request message to the certificate server;

receiving, by the OBU, a latest certificate revocation list from the certificate server in response to the first request message; and

updating, by the OBU, the currently stored certificate revocation list to the latest certificate revocation list.

8. The certificate revocation list updating method of claim 6 , wherein after the receiving, by an OBU, the first notification message from the first RSU, the certificate revocation list updating method further comprises:

sending, by the OBU, a second request message to the first RSU;

receiving, by the OBU, the first certificate revocation list from the first RSU; and

the updating, by the OBU, the certificate revocation list comprises updating, by the OBU, the currently stored certificate revocation list to the first certificate revocation list.

9. The certificate revocation list updating method of claim 6 , further comprising triggering the OBU to request a latest certificate revocation list from the certificate server when the first notification message is received.

10. The certificate revocation list updating method of claim 6 , further comprising sending a message to the first RSU that instructs the first RSU to determine that the certificate is revoked when the certificate used for the message is a second certificate corresponding to the currently stored certificate revocation list.

11. A computer program product comprising program instructions stored on one or more memories and that, when executed by at least one processor, cause an on board unit (OBU) to be configured to:

receive a first notification message from a first road side unit (RSU), wherein the first notification message comprises a first certificate revocation list, and wherein the first notification message instructs the OBU to update a currently stored certificate revocation list within a coverage area of the first RSU;

send a confirmation request to a certificate server, wherein the confirmation request requests confirmation from the certificate server whether a certificate used by the OBU within the coverage area of the first RSU is revoked;

receive a response message from the certificate server in response to the confirmation request; and

update the currently stored certificate revocation list to the first certificate revocation list in response to the first notification message.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions that when executed by the at least one processor further cause the OBU to be configured to:

send a first request message to the certificate server;

receive a latest certificate revocation list from the certificate server in response to the first request message; and

update the currently stored certificate revocation list to the latest certificate revocation list.

13. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions that when executed by the at least one processor further cause the OBU to be configured to:

send a second request message to the first RSU;

receive the first certificate revocation list from the first RSU in response to the second request message; and

update the currently stored certificate revocation list to the first certificate revocation list.

14. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the first notification message triggers the OBU to request a latest certificate revocation list from the certificate server.

15. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions that when executed by the at least one processor further cause the OBU to be configured to send a message to the first RSU that instructs the first RSU to determine that the certificate is revoked when the certificate used for the message is a second certificate corresponding to a second certificate revocation list.
