Abstract

Today many connected and automated vehicles are available and connectivity features and information sharing is increasingly used for additional vehicle-, maintenance- and traffic safety features. This highly connected networking also increase the attractiveness of an attack on vehicles and the connected infrastructure by hackers with different motivations and thus introduces new risks for vehicle cybersecurity.

Highly aware of this fact, the automotive industry has therefore taken high efforts in designing and producing safe and secure connected and automated vehicles. Therefore the domain invested efforts in the development of industry standards to tackle automotive cybersecurity issues and protect their assets. The joint working group of the standardization organizations International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has recently established and published a committee draft of the “ISO-SAE Approved new Work Item (AWI) 21434 Road Vehicles - Cybersecurity Engineering” standard. In addition to that SAE is also working on a set of cybersecurity guidance, ISO is addressing specific automotive cybersecurity related topics in additional standards and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is working on security topics of connected vehicles. Further activities are national and international regulations on Automotive Cybersecurity. In the course of this document, a review of the available work and ongoing developments is given and the outline of the automotive cybersecurity framework is given. The aim of this work is to provide a position statement for discussion of available standards, methods and recommendations for automotive cybersecurity.
