CyberCar Successfully Uses Blockchain to Deliver Connected Car Data Authentication

BOULDER, Colo., July 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CyberCar, the company bringing blockchain to connected cars, successfully completed a demonstration that, for the first time in history, blockchain-enabled a telematics device.

By bringing blockchain to the connected vehicle, CyberCar delivers a "membrane of trust" around the entire vehicle ecosystem, enabling a profound paradigm shift in connected car technology, facilitating new business models and lines of commerce.

With connected cars, the data and information are collected in a computer "gateway" inside the vehicle, then fed into a hosted cloud solution. In the recent demonstration, CyberCar leveraged CalAmp's telematics technology to collect data from inside the vehicle by porting its blockchain-optimized Secure Telematics Platform (STP) onto the vehicle gateway. CyberCar then authenticated the data with blockchain on the CyberCar node.

Blockchain keeps an uchangeable ledger of data events and is made up of nodes, each with its own immutable record of the same data. This means that even if the data generated from the vehicle were to be altered in any way, the original data collected by CyberCar would remain unchanged and available for verification on a CyberCar blockchain node.

"CyberCar is revolutionizing the authentication of data coming off the vehicle gateways" says Pat Kennedy, founder and CEO of CyberCar. "Through the use and implementation of blockchain, our development team, leveraging more than 25 years of connected vehicle experience, has created secure, immutable data that's easily viewed by multiple parties."

CyberCar is revolutionary, timely, and future-looking. Blockchain applications for vehicles range from cold transport, tracking regulated goods, autonomous vehicles, insurance, enhanced OEM services, and more.

CyberCar is a Colorado-based company that has brought blockchain to connected car security. CyberCar was founded by CEO Pat Kennedy in 2016 and is a spinoff from Cellport, a company founded in 1993 that secured 25 patents covering cellphone-to-vehicle connectivity, internet connected car, and vehicle security. CyberCar's Solutions Lab operates pilot programs with interested partners. To learn more, visit www.cybercar.io. Request CyberCar's white paper. Find out about CyberCar pilot programs.
