CS/CIS Event: Protecting Vehicular Over-the-air Software Updates From Nation-state Actors

---

The presentation is sponsored by:

    IEEE Rochester Section: Computer and Computational Intelligence Societies Joint Chapter

    (CS/CIS) and RIT's Computer Science Colloquium & Global Cybersecurity Institute Colloquium.

 

Abstract:

This talk describes Uptane, the first compromise-resilient security system for over-the-air updates for the computerized units of automobiles. Uptane can thwart attacks from malicious actors who can compromise servers and networks at the manufacturing level. Hence, it is designed to be resilient even to the best efforts of nation state attackers. Uptane is integrated into Automotive Grade Linux, an open source system currently used by many large OEMs, and has also been adopted by a number of U.S. and international manufacturers. Within the next few years, more than one-third of new cars on U.S. roads will include Uptane. Uptane is also an IEEE/ISTO standard and is currently hosted by the Joint Development Foundation of the Linux Foundation. The Uptane Standards document is freely available and can be accessed free of charge. Other materials, including technical papers, security audits, and a public reference implementation are also freely available for all to use.
