Enhancing Connected Vehicle Security with Block chain

Abstract

With millions of cars getting connected with OEM / Other vehicles in coming years, there is an increasing demand in ensuring that the consumers are rightly protected from any cyber threats. Vehicle to Vehicle communication such as Smart intersection, Traffic light control and Collision avoidance need the ultra-quick response after handling the security validation. Built-in security and architecture design are required to mitigate any threat. This paper discusses the need for a holistic approach to looking at the deep insight of hackable components in the connected vehicle ecosystem using Blockchain technology. It focuses on security services with Intrusion protection throughout the life cycle of the vehicle. All this ensures a comprehensive and end to end protection. Adhering to the proposed architecture provides proactive measures for any vulnerability thereby building trusted and secure vehicles.
