Wireless Security Within New Model Vehicles
Abstract:
Vehicles currently on the market are more like computers on wheels than most consumers would even begin to imagine. In fact, consumers rarely consider whether their new vehicles could be hacked in a fashion similar to their home PCs. Recently, attacks on vehicles have been brought into the spotlight, a reality that is making vehicle cyber security a priority with both vehicle manufacturers and politicians, and through both manufacturers’ designs and U.S. Senate bills. This paper explores the means by which a vehicle could potentially be hacked, what ramifications come from a hacking attack, and how a vehicle could be protected against attacks.
