Security in Automobiles

A study of cybersecurity vulnerabilities in modern vehicles, particularly focusing on CAN bus systems, remote hacking incidents, and countermeasures.

This presentation explores how modern automobiles, equipped with dozens of computers and networked systems, are susceptible to both physical and remote cyber attacks. Real-world case studies from 2010 to 2016 demonstrate how attackers have exploited CAN bus vulnerabilities using both physical access and remote channels. Defensive measures such as controller authentication, encrypted communication, and security-aware software development are discussed as necessary steps forward.
