UK team trials cyber security tech for driverless cars

With autonomous vehicles expected to become ever more widespread in the years ahead; the security of the connected systems that underpin much of the technology are a major priority for researchers.

Under the WMG’s IoT-enabled Transport and Mobility Demonstrator project, four separate innovations, aimed at demonstrating how CAVs and roadside infrastructure can be connected more securely, were trialled on the campuses of the Universities of Warwick and Surrey, and Millbrook Proving Ground.

Developed thorough the EPSRC funded PETRAS Internet of Things Research Hub (a consortium of eleven leading UK universities), the technologies included so-called group signatures, a secure form of communications for vehicle platooning that limits the amount of data sent by individual vehicles and makes it harder for hackers to track vehicles over a long period of time.
