Student researchers seek to improve cybersecurity of vehicle-to-vehicle communications
Team develops security features testbed and visual interface for V2V technology research
If cars talked to each other, it would improve the travel experience and help save lives—but it could also lead to malicious, even life-threatening, cyberattacks. As a result, most car manufacturers have been hesitant to deploy vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications technology.
At Rochester Institute of Technology, a team of student researchers are working to bridge this cybersecurity gap in V2V communications. The researchers hope their work can be used to help roll out V2V technology in a safe and secure way, as soon as possible — and eventually for use in self-driving cars.
