Abstract:
A vehicle bus, of a vehicle, configured to provide data communication among a plurality of controllers of the vehicle. An identity controller is programmed to collect voltage samples over the vehicle bus from the plurality of controllers to create a voltage profile indicating consistent electrical aspects of the data communication between the controllers, the electrical aspects being independent of data content of the data communication, and generate a voltage fingerprint uniquely identifying the vehicle using the voltage profile.
