The existing automotive Controller Area Network (CAN) is vulnerable. The absence of sender verification in its communication means that an attacker acting as a node on its network will be treated like a legitimate node that has always been present, allowing attackers to transmit and receive messages freely. This paper proposes a system that will allow nodes using CAN to identify legitimate messages and reject those that come from illegitimate nodes. In addition, the system provides resistance against replay attacks that can clog up the safety-critical real time networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
