Cybersecurity in V2X Communications


Pradip Kumar Sharma
Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity,
Department of Computing Science, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK



Abstract:
Advances in cellular technology are a key driver of the growing automotive Vehicle to Everything (V2X) market. In V2X communications, information from sensors and other sources travels via high-bandwidth, low-latency, high-reliability links, paving the way to fully autonomous driving and intelligent mobility. With the future adoption of 5G and beyond (5G&B) networks, V2X is likely to generate a huge volume of data, which encourages the use of edge computing and pushes the system to learn the model locally to support real-time applications. However, the edge computing paradigm raises concerns about the security and privacy of local nodes (e.g., vehicles) and the increased risk of cyberattacks. In this talk, we will discuss open research questions, key requirements, and potential solutions to provide cyber resilience in V2X communications.
