Abstract

In this work, we conduct and discuss a consensus-based risk analysis for a novel architecture of a driverless and electric prototype vehicle. While well-established safety standards like ISO 26262 provide frameworks to systematically assess risks of hazardous operational situations, the automotive security field has emerged only in the last years. Today, SAE J3061 provides recommendations and high-level guiding principles of how to incorporate security into vehicle systems. ISO/SAE 21434 is a novel automotive security standard, which, however, is still under development. Therefore, we treat the aforementioned architecture as a single Industrial Automation and Control System (IACS) and provide an implementation of the IEC 62443 series. We collaboratively identify threats in a three-round process and define a scoring scheme for automotive risks. As a result, we obtain a tailored bundle of compensating security mechanisms. Based on our work, we suggest improvements for future automotive security standards when it comes to the co-engineering of safety and security.
