Future vehicles will be wirelessly connected to nearby vehicles, to the road infrastructure and to the Internet in order to enable new comfort features, safety functions and a number of new vehicle-specific services. The latter will include a fast, secure, and reliable way to remotely diagnose and reconfigure a vehicle as well as to install new software on the electronic control units integrated in...
Despite the fact that numerous studies have indicated that vehicular networks are vulnerable to external and internal attacks, very little effort has been expended in safeguarding communications both between elements within the vehicle and between the vehicle and the outside world. In this paper we present a mechanism that allows communications policy (essentially who can talk with whom and the security...
In this paper, we propose a secure intra-vehicular wireless communication architecture based on Host Identity Protocol (HIP). It ultimately improves the security of wireless intra-vehicular communication systems. The performance evaluation of the proposed architecture is performed in a ski tunnel which emulates the real underground transportation environment. Our results verify the feasibility of...
In this paper we study a surveillance system for public transport vehicles, which is based on the collection of on-board videos, and the upload via wireless transmission to a central security system of video segments corresponding to those cameras and time intervals involved in an accident. We assume that vehicles are connected to several wireless interfaces, provided by different Mobile Network Operators...
Complexity in modern vehicles has increased dramatically during the last years due to new features and applications. Modern vehicles are connected to the Internet as well as to other vehicles in close proximity and to the environment for different novel comfort services and safety-related applications. Enabling such services and applications requires wireless interfaces to the vehicle and therefore...
Over the last two decades, traffic congestion has become a "worldwide" phenomenon as a result of increased motor vehicles and population growth. Emerging wireless technologies, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) networks, have a significant impact on improving the efficiency of the road traffic management system in Alexandria. In this paper, we propose an intelligent road-traffic-management...
Vehicular ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are predominantly gaining higher attention in the recent times both in the academic and industrial field. The vehicular communications that intend to take place in the wireless medium support several safety applications of the vehicle passengers. The open communication environment of VANET enables the vehicle drivers to access the ubiquitous services which have become...
Vehicular Networks (VANET) are the largest real life application of ad-hoc networks where nodes are represented via fast moving vehicles. As VANET is characterised with several unique features such as the high mobility, random distribution and short connection times, etc. establishing security becomes very challenging, and identifying security threats and possible attacks become very critical. Thus,...
For information dissemination in highly dynamic vehicular networks, two technological approaches can be considered: Cellular communication standards are continually evolving to incorporate the requirements of vehicular applications. An alternative is ad-hoc communication which is restricted to direct, short range communication between vehicles/road-side units. Currently, no single technology can fulfill...
Current requirements for vehicular video security systems are making it more challenging to handle the ever-increasing amount of video data produced by the video security systems installed within vehicles. Due to different standard regulations and recommendations, and quite often because of the requirements set by the operators themselves, recorded data not only needs to be stored temporarily within...
Unmanned control vehicles are used for a variety of scenarios where the user can conduct a task from a remote location, scenarios include surveillance, disaster recovery and agricultural farming. The operation of unmanned vehicles is generally conducted over a wireless communication medium. The nature of the wireless broadcast allows attackers to exploit security vulnerabilities through passive and...
The ARTEMIS 1 project DEWI ("Dependable Embedded Wireless Infrastructure") focusses on the area of wireless sensor / actuator networks and wireless communication. With its four industrial domains (Aeronautics, Automotive, Rail, and Building) and 21 clearly industry-driven use cases / applications, DEWI will provide and demonstrate key solutions for wireless seamless connectivity and interoperability...
The Connected Revolution has reached the automotive industry and the Internet penetrates into the modern vehicles. Formerly acquiring data from a vehicle was the tool of Fleet Management Systems handling commercial vehicles. In the recent years connectivity began to appear in the passenger vehicles also. The first features were infotainment and navigation, having low security needs remaining far from...
VANETS are a sub area of MANETS (is Mobile Ad hoc Networks that can configure itself without wires) where the dynamic ad hoc network is composed of vehicles as nodes. Vehicles utilizing wireless communication capabilities are termed as “computers networks on wheels” having data sharing capabilities. Vehicles can obtain either information from Road side base station or rely upon other vehicles for...
Vehicular Ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging technology that supports several applications related to safety and comfort. Its life saving characteristic has attracted the industry and research communities while its mobility, lack of infrastructure and serving wide spectrum of applications make it vulnerable to several kinds of attacks. VANET applications have stringent security requirements, as...
Near Field Communication technology is an emerging concept in the field of data transfer and is rapidly catching on the market by replacing technologies such as Bluetooth, infrared and other modes of data sharing because of its ease of use and diverse scopes that are available using this technology. The NFC technology basically is a descendant of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, which...
In the near future, vehicles will establish a spontaneous connection over a wireless radio channel, coordinating actions and information. Security infrastructure is most important in such a hazardous scope of vehicles communication for coordinating actions and avoiding accidents on the roads. One of the first security issues that need to be established is authentication. Vehicle authentication with...
This work aims to formulate a procedure to establish a graded trust system within autonomous vehicular networks. A trust management system in VANETs typically falls into one of two categories: centralized or distributed. Our solution is a hybrid system which merges the two canonical designs of a centralized and distributed structure that utilizes to capabilities of both systems. In this paper we provide...
Channel reciprocity is limited in frequency division duplex (FDD) system, and thus those channel reciprocity-based secret key extraction methods which are widely adopted in time division duplex (TDD) systems can hardly be implemented in FDD systems. In this paper, a novel secret key extraction method in OFDM-FDD system is proposed to achieve physical-layer security, by which the channel frequency...
This paper presents a number of the significant Vehicular Communication (VC) projects based on wireless technology. We focused on the main concept behind these platforms individually as well as we classified and evaluated the projects based on the provided solutions. Important considerations for designing VC applications and systems are discussed as well. Finally, the main conclusion shows that some...
