  • Patent number: 11271965
    Abstract: One embodiment provides an electronic control unit (ECU) for a vehicle. The ECU includes transceiver circuitry, voltage measurement circuitry and feature set circuitry. The transceiver circuitry is to at least one of send and/or receive a message. The voltage measurement circuitry is to determine at least one of a high bus line voltage (VCANH) value and/or a low bus line voltage (VCANL) value, for each zero bit of at least one zero bit of a received message. The received the message includes a plurality of bits. The feature set circuitry is to determine a value of at least one feature of a feature set based, at least in part, on at least one of a high acknowledge (ACK) threshold voltage (VthH) and/or a low ACK threshold voltage (VthL). The feature set includes at least one of an operating most frequently measured VCANH value (VfreqH2) of a number of VCANH values and/or an operating most frequently measured VCANL value (VfreqL2) of a number of VCANL values.

  • Patent number: 11180154
    Abstract: Driver fingerprinting using sensor data was known to be feasible only with access to in-car data. This disclosure presents a novel technique for identifying a vehicle driver from only one vehicle turn and using zero-permission sensors residing in the mobile device. Through extensive evaluations, extracted features are shown to reflect only the drivers unique turning style and thus functions as the core of driver fingerprinting.

  • Patent number: 11108789
    Abstract: Research efforts to detect and prevent possible attacks on vehicles have led to various defense schemes that are capable of preventing attacks and/or determining the presence/absence of an attack on the in-vehicle network. However, these efforts still cannot identify which Electronic Control Unit (ECU) on the in-vehicle network actually mounted the attack. Moreover, they cannot detect attacks by an adversary that impersonates ECUs injecting in-vehicle messages aperiodically. Identifying the source of an attack is essential for efficient forensic, isolation, security patch, etc. To fill these gaps, a method is presented for detecting and identifying compromised ECUs in a vehicle network.

  • Patent number: 11044260
    Abstract: An anomaly-based intrusion detection system is presented for use in vehicle networks. The intrusion detection system measures and exploits the intervals of periodic in-vehicle messages for fingerprinting electronic control units. Fingerprints are then used for constructing a baseline of clock behaviors, for example with a Recursive Least Squares algorithm. Based on the baseline, the intrusion detection system uses cumulative sum to detect any abnormal shifts in the identification errors—a clear sign of an intrusion. This approach allows quick identification of in-vehicle network intrusions with low false positive rates.

  • Patent number: 10992705
    Abstract: An important new vulnerability was discovered and is applicable to several in-vehicle networks including Control Area Network (CAN), the de facto standard in-vehicle network protocol. Specifically, a bus-off attack exploits the safe mode of CAN to disconnect or shut down uncompromised (healthy) ECUs. This is an important attack that must be thwarted, since once the attacker compromises an ECU, it is easy to mount the attack on safety-critical ECUs while its prevention/detection is very difficult. Based on analysis and experimental results, a mechanism to detect and/or prevent a bus-off attack is proposed and evaluated.

  • Patent number: 8831631
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method including two operations of a first operation and a second operation. The first operation may determine between a terminal located in a space including the small base station and a terminal located in a space excluding the small base station based on a value reported by a terminal. The second operation may be performed using information received from a neighboring macro base station in response to the determination failing to be performed in the first operation, thereby ultimately discriminating between an area including the small base station and an area excluding the small base station corresponding to a location of a terminal.
