Title: "Security and Privacy of Tomorrow's Connected Vehicles"
Abstract:
Modern connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are equipped with an increasing number of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that produce large amounts of data. The data is exchanged between ECUs via an in-vehicle network. Furthermore, CAVs do not only have physical interfaces, but also increased data connectivity to the Internet via their Telematic Control Units (TCUs) which make them accessible remotely just like mobile phones. As a result, an increasing number of attack vectors make vehicles an attractive target for hackers. Automotive cyber-security research is a relatively novel field which tries to respond to constantly rising threats with countermeasures. In this talk, we will give a primer on cyber-security in the automotive domain as well as discuss privacy concerns of the big data generated by cars.
