Solving Security and Privacy Challenges of the Connected Car

8

The connected car is moving from vision into reality. Our vehicles will be seamlessly integrated with the Internet exchanging data with other cars and infrastructure services. The car is not an information technology island anymore but can be accessed from anywhere in the world. With the promises of exciting applications and services for drivers and passengers will come the dangers of malicious software components. While viruses, Trojan horses and the like on your personal computer "just" attack your private data, your hard-earned money and more on your car they can be a clear and present danger for the health and life of you, your passengers and others around you.



But that is only the tip of the iceberg. What about privacy? Who owns the data that you are generating while driving your vehicle? What happens if data that you consented to share is abused? Or if it is combined with other digital fingerprints you leave on social networking sites etc?

There are many challenges and we must ask the right questions and find the solutions. One thing is obvious, the automotive industry alone is poorly prepared. Open collaboration and open source have proven to provide superior solutions. Will we be able to apply the paradigm to successfully solving the challenges of the connected car?

      raju, I post slides if presenters make them available. Christie Dudley gave an excellent talk on a similar subject in spring 2013 and her slides are posted. A video of a similar talk she gave is up on Chaos Computer Club from 2012.
