1. Topic: Secure Connected Car over 5G
Abstract:
In the automotive industry, vehicles are being built in a new style by connecting cars to roadside systems, back-end systems, other cars, people, and many services. On the other hand, the better the connectivity of the car, the more attack interfaces to the car and the easier it is for the attacker to attack the car. In this talk, I would like to share the current threat landscape of vehicle environment and what kind of security functions are required in consideration of such threat environments over the connected vehicles. In addition, if the car is assumed to be used in a 5G environment, I will also touch on the effects and threats for use of 5G.
