When Authentication Is Not Enough: On the Security of Behavioral-Based Driver Authentication Systems (2306.05923v4)

Published 9 Jun 2023 in cs.CR

Abstract: Many research papers have recently focused on behavioral-based driver authentication systems in vehicles. Pushed by AI advancements, these works propose powerful models to identify drivers through their unique biometric behavior. However, these models have never been scrutinized from a security point of view, rather focusing on the performance of the AI algorithms. Several limitations and oversights make implementing the state-of-the-art impractical, such as their secure connection to the vehicle's network and the management of security alerts. Furthermore, due to the extensive use of AI, these systems may be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. However, there is currently no discussion on the feasibility and impact of such attacks in this scenario. Driven by the significant gap between research and practical application, this paper seeks to connect these two domains. We propose the first security-aware system model for behavioral-based driver authentication. We develop two lightweight driver authentication systems based on Random Forest and Recurrent Neural Network architectures designed for our constrained environments. We formalize a realistic system and threat model reflecting a real-world vehicle's network for their implementation. When evaluated on real driving data, our models outclass the state-of-the-art with an accuracy of up to 0.999 in identification and authentication. Moreover, we are the first to propose attacks against these systems by developing two novel evasion attacks, SMARTCAN and GANCAN. We show how attackers can still exploit these systems with a perfect attack success rate (up to 1.000). Finally, we discuss requirements for deploying driver authentication systems securely. Through our contributions, we aid practitioners in safely adopting these systems, help reduce car thefts, and enhance driver security.
