Securing VANETs: Industry Approaches and Current Research Directions
How to Avoid Future Digital Road Rage
Adrian Perrig
CyLab, Carnegie Mellon University

Security plays a critical role in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs).  In the absence of secure mechanisms, malicious parties could inject bogus information, at best robbing VANETs of their safety benefits or at worst causing accidents. Unfortunately, VANETs pose unique new research challenges, preventing the use of existing network security mechanisms.

Industry has proposed security mechanisms to safeguard VANET operations. In this talk, we will discuss the properties and limitations of these mechanisms and present remaining research challenges.

We will then present promising proposed research mechanisms to secure VANETs beyond current industry standards, such as the application of advanced cryptographic techniques to provide anonymity, the use of trusted computing technologies such as the Trusted Computing Group's (TCG's) Trusted Platform Module (TPM), or the use of location verification. We conclude the talk with remaining open research challenges, as well as opportunities and directions for addressing these challenges.

Biography: Adrian Perrig is a Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Engineering and Public Policy, and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Adrian serves as the technical director for Carnegie Mellon's Cybersecurity Laboratory (CyLab). He earned his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University, and spent three years during his Ph.D. degree at University of California at Berkeley where he worked with his advisor Doug Tygar. He received his B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). Adrian's research revolves around building secure systems and includes network security, trustworthy computing and security for social networks. More specifically, he is interested in trust establishment, trustworthy code execution in the presence of malware, and how to design secure next-generation networks. More information about his research is available on Adrian's web page.  He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award in 2004, IBM faculty fellowships in 2004 and 2005, and the Sloan research fellowship in 2006.
