Linux Stack Based V2X Framework

Duncan Woodbury, Nicholas Haltmeyer

Linux implementation of IEEE 802.11p and DSRC protocols enabling security research on V2X communications.

Summary

Vehicle-to-Everything Communications

V2V and V2X wireless communications enable semi-autonomous driving through state information exchange between vehicles and infrastructure. Following 10+ years of standards development, implementation has lagged.

Standards and Development

The IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609 family standards define the protocol specifications. However, a lack of available implementations has prevented security community involvement in standards development and testing.

Vulnerability Analysis

Analysis of the WAVE/DSRC protocols reveals vulnerabilities that could render them unfit for safety-critical systems. These findings highlight the importance of early security research on emerging standards.

Linux Implementation

A complete Linux-stack implementation of IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609.3/4 is presented, providing hackers and academics with tools to participate in the engineering of secure standards for intelligent transportation systems.
