Abstract

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of performing a secure boot operation in an autonomous driving vehicle includes reading a first marker from a storage device in which the storage device includes a plurality of partitions and at least the first marker. The plurality of partitions includes a first partition including stored software, the first marker associated with the first partition, and wherein the first marker includes a unique identifier and an authentication code. The method further includes determining if the read first marker associated with the first partition is valid during a boot-up operation and executing the stored software in the first partition if the read first marker is determined valid.
