Security Concerns in Communication with the Connected Car using DoIP

Other conference contribution, 2011

In this paper, we investigate the threats and challenges when using untrusted network links for communication with the connected car. A prototype system using the Diagnostics over IP (DoIP) protocol has been implemented within our project. We highlight the DoIP security challenges that we have identified. We further discuss how the environment appears to attackers, which vulnerabilities can be exploited and what the possible consequences can be. Possible countermeasures and security mechanisms are discussed to address these threats and vulnerabilities.
