“…Thus, to enhance the communication security in the CV environment, the USDOT will deploy the Security and Credential Management System (SCMS) on both the vehicle and infrastructure sides [15]. It is a Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) system that requires every BSM messages to be signed by the sender's digital certificates issued beforehand, and thus the receivers can verify the signature before acting on it [15], [38].…”

Abstract-Connected vehicle (CV) technology will soon transform today's transportation systems by connecting vehicles and the transportation infrastructure through wireless communication. Having demonstrated the potential to greatly improve transportation mobility efficiency, such dramatically increased connectivity also opens a new door for cyber attacks. In this work, we perform the first detailed security analysis of the nextgeneration CV-based transportation systems. As a first step, we target the USDOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) sponsored CV-based traffic control system, which has been tested and shown high effectiveness in real road intersections. In the analysis, we target a realistic threat, namely CV data spoofing from one single attack vehicle, with the attack goal of creating traffic congestion.We first analyze the system design and identify data spoofing strategies that can potentially influence the traffic control. Based on the strategies, we perform vulnerability analysis by exhaustively trying all the data spoofing options for these strategies to understand the upper bound of the attack effectiveness. For the highly effective cases, we analyze the causes and find that the current signal control algorithm design and implementation choices are highly vulnerable to data spoofing attacks from even a single attack vehicle. These vulnerabilities can be exploited to completely reverse the benefit of the CV-based signal control system by causing the traffic mobility to be 23.4% worse than that without adopting such system. We then construct practical exploits and evaluate them under real-world intersection settings. The evaluation results are consistent with our vulnerability analysis, and we find that the attacks can even cause a blocking effect to jam an entire approach. In the jamming period, 22% of the vehicles need to spend over 7 minutes for an original halfminute trip, which is 14 times higher. We also discuss defense directions leveraging the insights from our analysis.

“…The work described in Santa et al (2014b) presents one of these lines, which consists in using the IEEE 802.21 specification to improve the handover operation in terms of time of network transition and potential prediction of connectivity areas. Another line is focused on the security aspects in IPv6 vehicular communications, as an addition to current works more focused on certificate-based approaches (Whyte et al, 2013). Our choice is based on the integration of IETF standardised technologies such as IP security (IPsec) or internet key exchange (IKE) in the vehicular domain, considering the network performance overload in this particular scenario (Feiri et al, 2013).…”

Most of the previous and current vehicular communication deployments, testbeds and, in general, experimental efforts come from research contributions evaluating particular solutions in the area. We have had to wait until recent days to see great testing campaigns in vehicular cooperative systems, coming from research projects supported by national or international funding. This paper reviews the deployment and operation of communication infrastructures in one of the major European projects in this area, i.e., European field operational test on safe, intelligent and sustainable road operation (FOTsis). A key advance of FOTsis has been the integration of IEEE 802.11p and IPv6 technologies following the ISO/ETSI guidelines in cooperative systems for vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communications. This work reports our main findings providing an interoperable IPv6 access to vehicular services, describes the main test-sites, provides vehicular network performance tests, and summarises our experience in these deployments. Our recommendations pave the way for future large-scale vehicular communication deployments in the V2I segment, which is expected to be the most relevant in the short and medium term.

“…The Security Credential Management System (SCMS), developed under a cooperative agreement with the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), is currently the leading candidate for V2V security backend design in the U.S. [4]. These efforts focus on securing the V2X communication channels over Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE) standard.…”

Security vulnerabilities of connected vehicle streams and their impact on cooperative driving

Abstract-Autonomous vehicle capable of navigating unpredictable real-world environments with little human feedback are a reality today. Such systems rely heavily on on-board sensors such as cameras, radar/LIDAR, and GPS as well as capabilities such as 3G/4G connectivity and V2V/V2I communication to make real time maneuvering decisions. Autonomous vehicle control imposes very strict requirements on the security of the communication channels used by the vehicle to exchange information as well as the control logic that performs complex driving tasks, e.g., adapting vehicle velocity, or changing lanes. This study presents a first look at the effects of security attacks on the communication channel as well as sensor tampering of a connected vehicle stream equipped to achieve Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). Our simulation results show that an insider attack can cause significant instability in the CACC vehicle stream. We also illustrate how different countermeasures, such as downgrading to ACC mode, could potentially be used to improve security and safety of the connected vehicle streams.
