Abstract :

Today�s modern cars are pervasively computerized and controlled by a heterogeneous combination of digital components, referred to as Electronic Control Units, ECUs. Each vehicle may have between 20 to 100 ECUs. With the deployment of the wireless technology, the vehicle of the future will potentially be vulnerable to cyber-attacks and precautions need to be implemented early. Cyber-attacks on connected cars and connected trucks that are largely computer controlled can bring chaos to the roads. This talk will address the WAVE (Wireless Access Vehicular Environment) standard, recent pilot projects and the connected vehicle wireless infrastructure vulnerability. We will discuss also the denial of service attacks on the WAVE technology, how to detect such attack, and how to mitigate its effect on the communications infrastructure.
