Abstract:
1. A computer-readable storage device comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, for securing communications between a subject vehicle in which the device is used and at least one receiving vehicle, comprising: predicting a future value for a subject-vehicle parameter corresponding to a pre-identified future time, yielding a predicted future-vehicle-parameter value; generating a heavyweight authenticating signature to correspond to the predicted future-vehicle-parameter value; obtaining an actual value for the subject-vehicle parameter, yielding an actual-vehicle-parameter value; comparing, in a comparison, the predicted future-vehicle-parameter value to the actual-vehicle-parameter value to determine whether the predicted future-vehicle-parameter value bears a predetermined relationship to the actual-vehicle-parameter value; and in response to determining in the comparison that the predicted future-vehicle-parameter value bears the predetermined relationship to the actual-vehicle-parameter value:
