Manipulation of Nodes in a Connected Car Network

摘要

The future of electronic, connected, and networked automobiles is upon us. This new technology reshaping the way we drive and communicate on motorways. The technology cars maintain connections and communicate via Wi-Fi. The Connected cars initiative envisions cars that form a dynamic social network. Each car exchanges local information such as speed and travel direction with peers. Other than increased safety and traffic improvement, cars are anonymous in the network. In this network, it is possible to use neighborhood information to blend in and evade traffic from law enforcement authority. For example, if there are a hundred cars driving in unison, it is difficult to apprehend speeding vehicles. If the police vehicle is interested in a specific car, it needs to enter the network and positions itself behind the target car. This project explores techniques for infiltrating a connected car network to form ties with a specific node.
