Abstract

Today’s vehicles are increasingly ‘connected’; there is wireless data exchange with servers, infrastructure and other vehicles. Tomorrow’s vehicles will be automated and autonomous, capable of sensing their environment and navigating through cities without human input. The ongoing move from traditional air traffic control systems such as radar and voice towards enhanced surveillance and communications systems using modern data networks causes a marked shift in the security of the aviation environment. These advances will increase comfort and convenience for customers, improve products and services, and contribute towards achieving societal goals such as improving road safety, reducing fuel consumption, and facilitating traffic management and parking. The digital world offers unprecedented opportunities. Nevertheless, opportunity comes with risks, and one of these is the threat of a direct cyber-attack on vehicles or a whole vehicle fleet. Keeping cyber-security risks for connected vehicles in check is therefore of crucial importance. The interfaces of connected vehicles present an opportunity for exploiting vulnerabilities if adequate cyber-security mechanisms are not implemented and cyber-security risks are not dealt with appropriately. Attackers may compromise the user’s personal data, threaten the vehicle’s systems or endanger passengers.
