DESCRIPTION:Security and Privacy of Connected Autonomous Vehicles
URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.csa.iisc.ac.in/newweb/event/59/security-and-privacy-of-connected-autonomous-vehicles/
SUMMARY:The upcoming smart transportation systems which consist of connected autonomous
vehicles, are poised to transform our everyday life. The sustainability and growth of these systems
to their full potential will significantly depend on the robustness of these systems against security
and privacy threats. Unfortunately, the communication protocols employed in these systems lack
mainstream network security capabilities due to energy constraints of the deployed platforms and
bandwidth constraints of the communication medium. In this talk, I will present the results of my
efforts in anatomizing the two vital communication protocols employed in the smart transportation:
(1) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication protocol which is utilized to facilitate wireless
communication among connected vehicles, and (2) controller area network (CAN) protocol which
is utilized within an autonomous vehicle to enable real-time control of critical automotive
components including brakes. For each of these two protocols, I will first describe the inquisitive
approach which led to the discovery of the new security vulnerabilities. Then, through the
experiments on real-world systems, I will demonstrate how these vulnerabilities can be exploited
to launch malicious attacks which evade the state-of-the-art defense mechanisms employed in
these systems. I will conclude the talk by discussing novel countermeasures which are required
to mitigate these fundamental vulnerabilities and prevent their exploitation.
