Unmanned transport environment threats

Abstract

Unmanned private and public transport may be susceptible to attacks through various interfaces including networks and physical sensors. With the spread of smart transport and the urban environment that can interact with vehicles, such threats will become increasingly relevant. The paper presents the overview of current cases of attacks on the connected unmanned transport environment that includes smart cars and smart city infrastructure. The paper includes the overview of implementation and classification of such environment components: smart vehicle components and smart city components that can interact with each other. Based on the implementation of components and what technologies they are used, paper overviews attack cases. The attack cases are based on the current reports of security incidents in the past and related research. The paper discusses the most urgent threats for such smart city environment based on the analysis of found attacks and classes of interfaces. The work highlights that today the most serious threat remains the problem of cyber-physical and network security.
