Security of communications in connected cars Modeling and safety assessment

Abstract

In the context of modernization and development of new information and communications technology, ultra-connected world has become a strategic element. Wireless communication technologies have enabled a kaleidoscopic range of applications that are revolutionizing many aspects of business and public services. Connected cars themselves as new born of new technologies, are the next frontiers for the automobile revolution and the key to the evolution towards the next generation of intelligent transport systems that enable information sharing and communication between vehicles and their internal and external environment. Moreover, connected cars are the main use cases of internet of things (IOT), yet they are the least understood in terms of cyber security. And as with all things using the internet infrastructure for the exchange of information, communications of connected cars are sensitive to various security issues and have some great concerns with privacy and data confidentialities. In this article, we focus on wireless technologies and potential challenges to provide a communication's vehicle-to-vehicle(V2V) or vehicle-to-X(V2X). In particular, we discuss the challenges and review the state-of-the-art wireless solutions for internet of vehicle(IOV). We also identify future research issues for building connected vehicles and solutions which have been proposed by several researchers.
