Abstract
In recent years, increase in the development of
connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) has sparked
cyber security concerns. In particular, vehicle-to-everything
(V2X) communication, which is essential for CAV and the
transportation system, has introduced a new threat landscape
and created several attack surfaces for malicious agents. The
available literature on cyber-attacks mostly concentrate on
sophisticated tools and equipment in performing malicious
activities. However, ignorance of simple attack and defense
methods, sometimes as simple as defining proper access
policies, is among top reasons for cyber-attacks. This paper
aims to emphasize on the need for practicing security-bydesign and increase awareness of manufacturers and
developers to adopt minimum security measures. A generic
network communication vulnerability assessment method is
adopted to perform navigational attack through GPS
falsification on connected vehicles, using an Unmanned
Ground Vehicles (UGV) as a case study. This paper
underlines the Wi-Fi security threats if used for V2X
communication without proper access control measures in
place. The experimental analysis demonstrates exploitation of
a vulnerability which allows full control and backend
navigation manipulation with respect to the UGV movement.
