UMTRI: Automotive Cybersecurity

Goals
This team is focused on the design and implementation of an automotive intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS), a promising automotive cybersecurity solution that is likely to appear in upcoming models of passenger vehicles. Presently, very little is publicly available and this project aims to introduce significant innovation in this space, publish results, and educate the automotive cybersecurity community. Part of this project entails the development of electronic attacks on a vehicle in order to test, and eventually improve, prototype IDPS solutions. The project will use a test vehicle and the MTC test track (MCity) for real-world testing of IDPS solutions.
