1. A sensor management system, comprising:
a plurality of imaging devices deployed within a vehicle;
a processing circuit comprising a controller; and
a plurality of data communication links, each data communication link coupling at least one of the plurality of imaging devices with the processing circuit,
wherein the processing circuit is configured to:
determine that a change of data security mode is indicated for frames of image data transmitted over a first data communication link;
determine whether available processing capacity of the sensor management system is sufficient to support the change of data security mode;
increase the available processing capacity of the sensor management system by modifying data security settings for at least one other data communication link when the available processing capacity of the sensor management system is insufficient to support the change of data security mode; and
initiate the change of data security mode when the sensor management system has sufficient processing capacity to support the change of data security mode,
wherein the change of data security mode includes a change from an application-based data security mode to a link-based data security mode or a change from the link-based data security mode to the application-based data security mode.
