Abstract

This paper focuses on creating a solution to counter cyber threats to the local network of modern vehicles at the level of architecture, topology and communication process. The authors pay special attention to the communication process of electronic control units within the local network. A comparative analysis of different types of cyber-attacks on modern motor vehicles has been carried out, and threat and intruder models have been formulated. By means of mathematical modeling of the topology of the local network, a method for its clustering has been implemented. Methods and mechanisms for message integrity control and node authentication have been developed. The analysis of compliance of the proposed solution to the requirements of the real-time system based on the measurement of the worst-case time delay between the end network nodes has been carried out.
