Security in Connected Cars

摘要

This article provides an overview about the probable security threats in modern automotive systems, and possible counter measures to safeguard the vehicle from potential attacks. This paper attempts to describe few prominent use cases in the automotive context and potential threats associated with each of them, followed by possible security mechanisms to provide a secure environment. The main focus of this paper is to discuss about the security threats in connected cars and possible security solutions to counter the attacks. Further this article briefly discusses about hardware cryptographic solutions and the advantages of hardware security for realizing real-time solutions. Finally provides a realtime illustration of how security concepts can be applied to automotive usecases. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of having security built into the products right from the concept phase.
