Abstract
With the development of intelligent and connected vehicles, onboard Ethernet will play an important role in the next generation of vehicle network architectures. It is well established that accurate timing and guaranteed data delivery are critical in the automotive environment. The time-sensitive network (TSN) protocol can precisely guarantee the time certainty of the key signals of automotive Ethernet. With the time-sensitive network based on automotive Ethernet being standardized by the TSN working group, the TSN has already entered the vision of the automotive network. However, the security mechanism of the TSN protocol is rarely discussed. First, the security of the TSN automotive Ethernet as a backbone E/E (electrical/electronic) architecture is analyzed in this paper through the Microsoft STRIDE threat model, and possible countermeasures for the security of automotive TSNs are listed, including the security protocol defined in the TSN, so that the TSN security protocol and the traditional protection technology can form a complete automotive Ethernet protection system. Then, the security mechanism per-stream filtering and policing (PSFP) defined in IEEE 802.1Qci is analyzed in detail, and an anomaly detection system based on PSFP is proposed in this paper. Finally, OMNeT++ is used to simulate a real TSN topology to evaluate the performance of the proposed anomaly detection system (ADS). As a result, the protection strategy based on 802.1Qci not only ensures the real-time performance of the TSN but can also isolate individuals with abnormal behavior and block DoS (denial of service) attacks, thus attaining the security protection of the TSN vehicle-based network.
