Standardization Issues on Secure Vehicular Communication

Abstract: Connected vehicles are considered as the key enabling technology in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) environment. However, connected vehicles without security function can make ITS applications vulnerable to various security threats. Recently, many standard organizations are working on making international standard related with vehicular communication security. This paper presents state of the art of standardization on ITS security and issues being considered by standard development organizations. In particular, this paper elaborates standardization activity and security consideration in ITU-T Security Group.
