MTH 405/505: Special Topics, Fall 2015Â
Cryptosystems in Automotive Industry
Instructor: Dr. Shaska, 546 MCS ([email protected])Â
Prerequisites: MTH 254, MTH 275 or permission of instructor
Description: As information technologies are increasingly deployed in modern vehicles automotive cy- bersecurity issues have emerged. In this talk we cover some of the basic crypto-systems already in use in the automotive industry and their limitations, including threats posed by denial-of-service (DoS) at- tacks and external connectivity vulnerabilities. This course is designed primarily for engineers, computer scientists, and mathematicians who work in the automotive industry. Both advanced undergraduates and graduate students are welcome.
Topics: The course will consist of two parts
• Mathematical background in cryptography
– Public Key Cryptography
– Elliptic Curves for non-mathematicians – Elliptic Curve Cryptography
– Suitable Elliptic Curves
– Implementing ECC
• Automotive security
– Basics of automotive security
– Standards and Specifications
– Security mechanisms
– Crypto algorithms
– Authentification
– Security
– Current and Future Security Implementations – Runtime Assurance
– Architectural Assurance
– Supply Chain
– Hacking your car
– Will the industry listen to us?
– Future systems
Projects: You will do one project during the semester. I will provide recent papers and materials so you can choose the topic of your project. Â
