Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for preventing an unauthorized operation of a vehicle, and an electronic hardware security module for implementing the method are provided. A vehicle immobilizer software is used therein, which is at least partially stored in the electronic hardware security module.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for preventing an unauthorized operation of a motor vehicle, which uses a vehicle immobilizer software, comprising: at least partially storing the vehicle immobilizer software in an electronic hardware security module, wherein: a first portion of the vehicle immobilizer software is stored in the electronic hardware security module, a second portion of the vehicle immobilizer software is stored in a control unit software, the first portion actuates a first switch-off interface, the second portion actuates a second switch-off interface, the second switch-off interface is plausibilized with respect to the first switch-off interface. 2. A control unit, comprising: an electronic hardware security module that includes a memory in which a vehicle immobilizer software is stored at least partially; a first switch-off interface assigned to the electronic hardware security module; and a second switch-off interface assigned to a control unit software, the first and second switch-off interfaces being linked to each other via hardware.
