The Challenges of V2X Security: A Case for Global Action

This paper looks at V2X in its current state of development. It focuses on the real challenge, which is security, irrespective of the underlying radio technology. The automotive industry does not have a good track record in cybersecurity and has been slow to develop the necessary skills across the entire supply chain. The paper emphasizes that the complexity of V2X/C-ITS and the impact it has on people’s lives means it is essential that the V2X/C-ITS design is planned, and the deployment implemented with security as a number one priority.
The reader will gain an understanding of:
• The Drivers of V2X
• V2X Technology
• Alliances: C2C and 5GAA
• V2X Implementation Challenges
• Security challenges
