Internet of Cars

Presented at BSidesLV 2017, July 25, 2017, 6:30 p.m. (55 minutes)

It's been almost a year since the DMCA exemption made hacking your own car legal and 3 years since I Am The Cavalry launched our 5 Star Automotive Cyber Safety Framework. We've had demonstrations of vehicle hacks, research on secure over the air updates, and new open source hardware projects to simplify RE'ing your vehicle. Has there been a wave of vuls in vehicle systems? What are automakers doing to secure connected vehicles? What about that whole Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication mandate? Where is automotive security is going, what has the impact of policy been, and, most importantly - how can more researchers get involved in helping to find solutions to all this? This session will have guest speakers bringing some exciting "inside" perspective to these questions and more.
