ADVANCED SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN CONNECTED VEHICLES

Designing secure vehicles is becoming increasingly important as a result of recent
advances in potential cyber
-
attacks against vehicles. This security needs to be considered over
the course of the product lifecycle and includes a consideration of requireme
nts definitions,
design, development, testing, and maintenance. Even
though many technologies and guidelines
have been proposed to address end
to
end security design problems for the IT (information
technology) industry, there are often significant differ
ences between securing IT equipment
(such as servers and PCs) and securing vehicles.
Thus, purely IT
based approaches often have limited applicability in the domain of
vehicle security because human safety is a primary design consideration in the develop
ment of
vehicles, while relatively less attention has been paid to IT security. In addition, the lifecycle of
a vehicle is often much longer than the lifecycle of many PCs and related IT equipment.
Security design tends to be performed in silos
and is not well coordinated among all of the
stakeholders who are involved in the development of a vehicle.
