Security Analysis of an Automobile Controller Area Network Bus
Shawn Hartzell, Christopher Stubel, Tamara Bonaci
Abstract
As vehicles added more complex electrical systems, point-to-point electrical wiring became heavy and expensive. In 1986, the Society of Automotive Engineers proposed the first in-vehicle network, referred to as the controller area network (CAN) (Corrigan 2008). The proposed network was envisioned as a simple network to reduce wiring and allow multiple microcontrollers to communicate on a single bus.
