V2X Misbehavior and Collective Perception Service: Considerations for Standardization
This work addresses security risks in connected and automated vehicles for standardization bodies, but it is incremental as it builds on existing efforts without introducing new methods.
The paper tackles the problem of security vulnerabilities in Vehicle-to-Everything communication, specifically for advanced services like Collective Perception, where attackers can send authenticated but false data to endanger road safety, and it proposes inputs for standardization to address these gaps.
Connected and Automated Vehicles use sensors and wireless communication to improve road safety and efficiency. However, attackers may target Vehicle-to-Everything communication. Indeed, an attacker may send authenticated but wrong data to send false location information, alert incorrect events or report a bogus object endangering the safety of other CAVs. Currently, Standardization Development Organizations are working on developing security standards against such attacks. Unfortunately, current standardization efforts do not include misbehavior specifications for advanced V2X services such as Collective Perception yet. This work assesses the security of Collective Perception Messages and proposes inputs for consideration in existing standards.
