ERI reader

device used to read ERI data directly or indirectly from an ERT by invoking ERI transactions
NOTE 1 to entry: In the case that an ERI reader exchanges the ERI protocol data units directly via a data link with an ERT it is also called an ERR. In case it communicates via one or more nodes, only the last node in this sequence is called an ERR. As a consequence, an external ERI reader can,…

In case it communicates via one or more nodes, only the last node in this sequence is called an ERR. As a consequence, an external ERI reader can, depending on the onboard configuration for example, act for some, but not all, vehicles as an ERR.

hash-function

function which maps strings of bits to fixed-length strings of bits, satisfying the following two properties: a) for a given output, it is computationally infeasible to find an input which maps to this output; and b) for a given output, it is computationally infeasible to find a second input which maps to the same output
