Abstract:
We pursue an experimental setup that gathers various in-vehicle networks and subsystems that are critical from a security perspective. As cyber-attacks to cars have become a reality, the model comes handy for both research and engineering education. The usefulness of this empirical model stems from both being helpful in creating a realistic view on the security of automotive systems and for creating security awareness. We do congregate in our setup various communication buses, e.g., CAN, LIN and FlexRay, and bring connectivity between several low and high-end automotive-grade development boards that are linked to off-the-shelf in-vehicle components, e.g., an instrument cluster and an infotainment unit, etc. The setup serves as a concise and practical representation of in-vehicle subsystems, network topologies and highlights security implications.
