Communication Security in the Internet of Vehicles based Industrial Value Chain

Abstract: The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is formed by connecting vehicles to Internet of Things. It enables vehicles to ubiquitously access to the information of customers (drivers), suppliers, and even producers to structure an IoV-based industrial value chain. Nevertheless, with the increase in vehicle networking and the information exchange among drivers, suppliers, and producers, communication security is emerging as a serious issue. In this article, we provide an overview of the communication security, and a summary of security requirements. Moreover, we clarify how security solutions can be used to conquer security challenges in the value chain. Finally, an example of attack detection and identification in Electronic Control Units (ECUs) of vehicles is used to concretely illustrate the challenges.
