Abstract:
The vehicular security engineering process endeavors to build up a secure vehicle with a high level of security assurance. The well-identified security flaws and conforming security countermeasures help to deliver secure vehicles. This work presents a newly Divide-and-Conquer security framework which can be integrated with the early stages of the vehicular development process to emphasize the security-by-design. The framework proposes to divide the vehicle components into separate layers and sublayers, according to common security parameters. Subsequently, the framework applies a series of security management actions to define potential threats and security vulnerabilities in a vehicle; thereupon, it selects a list of security countermeasures which can mitigate the vehicular's risk. Eventually, the framework performs a security verification and validation to ensure that the vehicle has been developed according to the highest degree of protection level.
