Driving tests for automotive security at the Griesheim airfield

As part of the master's project system development Automotive Security, driving tests were carried out in mid-July at the airfield in Griesheim together with the EIT department. A Renault Twizy, a VW ID.3 and a Tesla Model 3 were involved.

Goals

All e-vehicles were equipped with measurement technology so that the communication in the on-board network could be recorded during the various driving maneuvers. The goal was to analyze the communication over the different Controller Area Network (CAN) buses to reconstruct the structure of the individual messages. For this purpose, a tool for the automated creation of a so-called Database CAN (DBC) file is created within the PSE. This DBC file then serves as the basis for carrying out targeted attacks on the vehicle, for example, in order to control specific actuators. For this purpose, an attack tool is also being developed as part of the PSE.

At the EIT department, the focus was on electrical energy flows in various driving situations. Further information can be found in the press release of the EIT department.
