A Lightweight Cyber Security Model for Vehicle-To-Vehicle and In-Vehicle Communication in Intelligent Transportation System
摘要
In recent years, vehicles have gained the capability to communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure. This network of vehicle communication is anticipated to expand in the near future, incorporating intelligence for autonomous decision-making and forming what is known as the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Such a system enhances decision-making abilities through real-time information. However, ITS faces several security challenges, including sensor spoofing, false data injection, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, which can jeopardize control systems and lead to cyber vulnerabilities and physical malfunctions. Traditional security methods are often inadequate in tackling these issues. This study introduces a Lightweight Cyber Security (LCS) model designed for secure communication between vehicles and within in-vehicle systems. An ITS testbed was established to validate the LCS model and demonstrate the effects of various attacks. Experimental tests involved the random injection of threats, and the simulation results from the ITS testbed reveal the percentage of threats that successfully targeted the nodes.
