Following the successful proof-of-concept demonstration of the Trusted Truck(C) project, an essential subsequent step, addressed by this project, pertained to the development of a robust data security infrastructure. The latter pertains to both the confidentiality of information exchanged, as well as authentication of the various parties communicating. Hence, the primary goal of this project was the development of a resource-efficient, tailor-fit data security protocol for the Trusted Truck(C) project. The solution has been coded and tested on real hardware and forms the basis for moving forward in providing data robustness and integrity for the Trusted Truck(C) network. Beyond the technical and scientific achievement, two students at the University of Tennessee (UT) were supported, thus enhancing the educational charter of both UT and the NTRCI University Transportation Center.
