Definitions

Automotive Security is the field of assessing cyber-threats against automotive systems and developing security countermeasures for detecting, preventing the corresponding attacks, and reacting to a security breach. As modern vehicles become connected, the threat of attack becomes increasingly real. Coupled with advances in driver assistance and autonomous solutions, the impact on security is further expanded. Thus, automotive security aims at ensuring automotive systems can achieve their intended function without the danger of being maliciously manipulated by an attacker. A few definitions used in vehicle security are provided below:

  • Cyber-physical system: A system of collaborating computational elements controlling physical entities

  • Cybersecurity: An attribute of a cyber-physical system that relates to avoiding unreasonable risk due to an attack (Committee SVESS et al. 2016)

  • Attack: Exploitation...
