Securing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Communication Platforms
It addresses security and privacy challenges in V2X communication platforms, which is critical for automotive safety but is incremental as it synthesizes existing knowledge.
This survey provides an extensive overview of the V2X ecosystem, reviewing security and privacy issues, standardization activities, and existing defense mechanisms, while identifying semantic gaps and outlining open issues.
Modern vehicular wireless technology enables vehicles to exchange information at any time, from any place, to any network -- forms the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication platforms. Despite benefits, V2X applications also face great challenges to security and privacy -- a very valid concern since breaches are not uncommon in automotive communication networks and applications. In this survey, we provide an extensive overview of V2X ecosystem. We also review main security/privacy issues, current standardization activities and existing defense mechanisms proposed within the V2X domain. We then identified semantic gaps of existing security solutions and outline possible open issues.
