Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Technology eruption is rapidly changing the state of the art in automated vehicular navigation systems, significantly affecting the customers’ environment. Connected vehicles increase and generate new demands of OEMs, markets, and governments, many associated with the expanding attack landscape. Hybrid threats, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and skillful hackers threaten large enterprises or governmental networks that focus on new opportunities created by the automotive industry. Common incidents and frequent car recalls by OEMs reveal the extent of the upcoming damage worldwide.

These recent advances are welcome but make Automotive Cybersecurity challenges essential, and they should be addressed before catastrophic irreversible consequences occur. Connectivity is opening up a new era in automotive technology, though in parallel, it multiplies and expands attack vectors and opportunities for criminal deception, with potential consequences for safety hazards and loss of life. Appropriate security measures provided by next-generation security regulations should be adopted by countries to establish an automotive cybersecurity framework. The collaboration of automotive security professionals will support the complete development of secure public intelligent transportation systems within this framework.

Topics of Interest

This Special Issue deals with recent advances in Automotive Cybersecurity and the critical challenges introduced above, in both research and technical aspects. Closely aligned with the interdisciplinary nature of automotive cybersecurity, authors from academia, industry, and government are welcome to contribute.

We seek original and high-quality submissions on, but not limited to, one or more of the following topics:

  • Attacks on EV Charging Infrastructures
  •  Prevention and Management of Fleet-wide Attacks
  • New Attack Vectors
  • Built-in Threat Detection
  • Data Privacy
  • Regulations in Smart Mobility Ecosystem
  • Intrusion Detection
  • Cryptographic Algorithms
  • Automotive Secure Software
  • Secure Onboard Communication
  • Cloud Computing Security
  • Cybersecurity for Heavy Vehicles

The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) empowers intelligent and tailored services for intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs). However, with the increasing number of onboard external communication interfaces, ICVs face the challenges of malicious network intrusions. The closure of traditional vehicles had led to in-vehicle communication protocols, including the most commonly applied controller area network (CAN), and a lack of security and privacy protection mechanisms. Therefore, to protect the connected vehicles and IoV systems from being attacked, an intrusion-detection method is proposed based on the features extracted from the arbitration identifier (ID) field of CAN messages. Specifically, a sliding window is used to continuously extract a frame of streaming CAN messages first. Afterward, the weighted self-information of the CAN message ID is defined, and both the weighted self-information and the normalized value of an ID are extracted as features. Based on the extracted features, a lightweight one-class classifier, the local outlier factor (LOF), is used to identify the outliers and detect malicious network intrusion attacks. Simulation experiments were conducted based on the public CAN dataset provided by the HCR Lab. The proposed method, using four different one-class classifiers, was analyzed, and it is also benchmarked with three information entropy-based intrusion-detection methods in the literature. The experimental results indicate that, compared to the benchmarks, the proposed method dramatically improves the detection accuracy for injection attacks, namely denial-of-service (DoS) and spoofing, especially when the number of injected messages is low.
