Abstract
A system for communicating with multiple vehicles or other electronic devices that share a common media access control (MAC) or other address is disclosed. Upon receiving a certificate signing request (CSR) from a connected device and determining that the device does not have a unique address, the system will generate a unique address for the device and embedding the unique addresses in a certificate, sign the certificate, and transfer the certificate to the device. Then, when the system communicates with the device, the system may use that unique address to identify the device.
