Abstract
” The evolution of Connected Vehicles ( CVs ) has introduced significant advancements in both in-vehicle and vehicle-edge platforms, creating a highly connected ecosystem. These developments, however, have heightened subjection to security risks. This job reviews emerging security issues in the CV habitat from a new perspective, focusing on the inclusion of in-vehicle systems such as the entertainment system and vehicle-edge systems. By analyzing case studies such as Android Automotive, Message Queuing Telemetry Transport ( MQTT), and the Robot Operating System ( ROS), we identify the primary security threats, including malware attacks, data manipulation, and Denial of Service ( DoS ) attacks. The conversation extends to privacy issues and the lack of trust-building systems in CVs, highlighting how these spaces can be exploited. To mitigate these risks, we retrieve solutions drawn from the broader field of Internet of Things ( IoT ) security research, including Multi-Factor Authentication ( MFA ) and trust-based systems. The proposed foundation aims to increase the honesty of devices within the CV habitat. Ultimately, we identify future research directions in dynamic systems and cross-domain security”.
