Cryptography and Security 2025-11-14 v1 Software Engineering

Abstract

The increase in popularity of connected features in intelligent transportation systems, has led to a greater risk of cyber-attacks and subsequently, requires a more robust validation of cybersecurity in vehicle design. This article explores three such cyber-attacks and the weaknesses in the connected networks. A review is carried out on current vulnerabilities and key considerations for future vehicle design and validation are highlighted. This article addresses the vehicle manufactures desire to add unnecessary remote connections without appropriate security analysis and assessment of the risks involved. The modern vehicle is All Connected and only as strong as its weakest link.
