Abstract:

An authentication system includes: ECUs constituting on-vehicle network and server device communicating with the ECU. The ECU stores ID and encryption key set individually to the ECU and used for authenticating data exchanged between the ECUs. The server device stores the ID and encryption key of the ECU. The ECU includes: first CPU configured to perform: generating authentication data; generating authentication code by encrypting the authentication data using the encryption key; and transmitting the ID, authentication data, and authentication code to the server device. The server device includes: second CPU configured to perform: acquiring the ID transmitted from the ECU; retrieving the encryption key of ECU corresponding to the ID acquired; acquiring the authentication data and authentication code transmitted from the ECU; and authenticating the ECU using the encryption key retrieved.
