Summary:
|
Connected vehicles utilize V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communication channels to exchange information with other vehicles and various devices, including smartphones, navigation systems, and roadside units. In this environment, a hidden communication channel can be established over networks to distribute secret data in a way that violates security policy, known as a “covert channel”.
Since these covert channels use existing system resources not designed to carry data, conventional network security systems like firewalls cannot detect their existence.
To address these security problems, this Recommendation provides a security threat analysis and specifies security requirements for countermeasures of the covert channels in connected vehicles. Furthermore, this Recommendation provides how to implement the countermeasure methods to fulfill the security requirements.
