• Abstract:
  The primary objective of the work detailed in this report is to describe a composite modeling approach for potential cybersecurity threats in modern vehicles. Threat models, threat descriptions, and examples of various types of conceivable threats to automotive systems are included, along with a matrix containing a condensed version of the various potential attacks. ; This publication is part of a series of reports that describe our initial work under the goal of facilitating cybersecurity best practices in the automotive industry (Goals 1 and 2). The information presented herein increase the collective knowledge base in automotive cybersecurity; help identify potential knowledge gaps; help describe the risk and threat environments; and help support follow-on tasks that could be used to establish security guidelines.
