Vulnerabilities in the vehicle’s electronic network equipped with ADAS system

Modern vehicles are distributed systems with numerous Electronic Control Units (ECUs) communicating with each other by means of the standard protocol known as Controller Area Network (CAN-Bus). Such architecture is a basis for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). ADAS is supposed to take driver's tasks consistently pushing people out of the driving process and decreasing of driver's stress load. Potentially it will result in increasing of vehicles functionality and overall safety on the roads. However, such CAN-bus as a base of ADAS system has a number of significant security limitations. This, the security of such systems plays an important role in their design and operation. This paper gives a brief overview of publications in the field of ADAS systems security. We have conducted a number of experiments on a real car to estimate its vulnerabilities for possible attacks. This article shows how an ADAS-equipped vehicle gives attackers the opportunity to gain control over its critical modules.
