M1901097 - Information Sciences Campaign, KCI-IS-1: Cyber Fire and Maneuver in Tactical Battle: Dynamic Watermarking and Timing Analysis to Protect Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) can potentially bring about great benefits, such as higher safety and mobility, and lower congestion and fuel consumption; however, studies have shown that AVs are vulnerable to malicious cyber attacks. Since the breakdown of an AV can be catastrophic (e.g., passengers injured/killed), it becomes imperative to deploy defense techniques to enhance the cybersecurity of AVs, which is the motivation of this study. Dynamic watermarking (DW), an active defense technique for cyber-physical systems (CPSs), is adopted herein. Implemented in a real AV for an autonomous driving operation, the DW technique is shown to be robust and sensitive in the early detection of different types of malicious cyber attacks on the sensing system.
