generating, by a processor associated with a server, a first public-private key pair and a second public-private key pair;
generating, by the processor and based on the first public-private key pair and a vehicle identifier of a vehicle, a first digital signature associated with the vehicle;
generating, by the processor and based on the second public-private key pair and a mobile application identifier of a mobile application associated with a mobile device operated by a user, a second digital signature associated with the mobile application, wherein the vehicle identifier and the mobile application identifier are associated with a user profile in a database maintained by the server;
transmitting, by the processor, the first digital signature and the public key of the first public-private key pair to the vehicle, wherein the first digital signature is stored in a memory module associated with the vehicle;
transmitting, by the processor, the second digital signature and the public key of the second public-private key pair to the mobile application, wherein the mobile application facilitates storage of the second digital signature in a local memory of the mobile device;
determining that a request to access the vehicle information has been received, wherein the request is associated with the user profile; and
