Integrated info-security for vehicular networks

The emerging vehicular networks in the forms of Intra-Vehicle (InV), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications are fast becoming a reality and critical data is being exchanged with-inside and with-outside vehicle via vehicular networks. In this paper, we propose integrated info-security solutions for vehicular networks. The proposed solutions will ensure that data exchanged with-inside and with-outside the vehicle is protected from abuse and security attacks. The solution will design an Integrated Data Security Gatekeeper with wire interfaces and wireless interfaces. With wire/wireless interfaces, the Gatekeeper will connect to the various networks and sensors inside a vehicle, and communicate with infrastructure and other vehicles for various applications, such as active safety, infotainment, traffic control, remote diagnosis, etc; With wireless interfaces, the Gatekeeper will harmoniously integrate with brought-in devices and beamed-in services.
