Abstract
In controller area networks (CANs), electronic control units (ECUs) such as telematics ECUs and on-board diagnostic ports must protect the message exchange from spoofing attacks. In this paper, we propose a CAN bus authentication framework that exploits physical layer features of the messages, including message arrival intervals and signal voltages, and applies reinforcement learning to choose the authentication mode and parameter. By applying the Dyna architecture and using a double estimator, this scheme improves the utility in terms of authentication accuracy without changing the CAN bus protocol or the ECU components and requiring knowledge of the spoofing model. We also propose a deep learning version to further improve the authentication efficiency for the CAN bus. The learning scheme applies a hierarchical structure to reduce the exploration time, and uses two deep neural networks to compress the high-dimensional state space and to fully exploit the physical authentication experiences. We provide the computational complexity and the performance analysis. Experimental results verify the theoretical analysis and show that our proposed schemes significantly improve the authentication accuracy as compared with benchmark schemes.
