Demo: Securing Automotive Zonal Architectures with Named Data Networking

pdf

Data-centric architectures are a candidate for in-vehicle communication. They add naming standardization, data provenance, security, and improve interoperability between different ECUs and networks. In this demo, We demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of data-centric architectures through named Data Networking (NDN). We deploy a bench-top testbed using Raspberry PIs to demonstrate NDNs value in a segmented network. We replay real CAN data over a CAN hat to NDN gateways and demonstrate how that data can be forwarded between segments using NDN. We analyze the current overhead of NDN and discuss mitigation strategies. Also, we show how authentication can be implemented by way of signing the data packets between segments and demonstrate how the NDN architecture prevents replay and some DoS attacks between segments.

Zachariah Threet is a recovering comedian, who after receiving his Bachelor's in cyber security from Tennessee Tech, is now pursuing a Master's in the same subject. He is a CySp DOD scholar who will serve the Defense Department upon graduating in the spring of 2023. Long term, Zachariah desires to work in the developing space domain, either designing or operating unmanned missions. In high school and throughout college he donated his time to disaster relief in Puerto Rico and across the united states. In his free time, he enjoys the company of board game enthusiasts and movie lovers alike. He also aspires to supplement his professional life by writing fiction novels and economic philosophies. If you have made it this far, Zachariah feels that you deserve to know he can also ride a unicycle.
