ITS RADIO SERVICE (DSRC) SECURITY

1. ITS RADIO SERVICE (DSRC) SECURITY T. M. Kurihara, Chair IEEE P1556 Working Group August 22, 2003

2. SCOPE • Security requirements for ITS resources interconnected using ITS DSRC wireless communications • Primary emphasis on vehicle (mobile) to roadside and vehicle to vehicle communications • Wireless communications uses IEEE 802.11a technology at 5.9GHz spectrum allocated by FCC rule-making

3. PURPOSE • Develop the essential protective mechanisms for the DSRC applications • Distinguish among the different categories of assets needing protective mechanisms • Maintain QOS for DSRC with protective mechanisms • Maintain consistency with the National ITS Architecture new standard security requirements

4. PROGRAM OF WORK • Research assets that need to be protected • Develop security framework for: • Vehicle-to vehicle applications • Vehicle-to roadside applications • Communication security (802.11i, 802.16) • Personal privacy protection as vehicle operator • Information and data integrity • Major contributors are VSCC, NIST, FHWA

5. Overall North American Program L. Armstrong 05/03

6. 2002 2003 2004 2005 Standards Development Architecture Lower Layers Upper Layers Prototype Test Standards Verification/Validation DSRC Standardization Activities

7. Vehicle Safety Communications Consortium (VSCC) • Two-year effort (started in 2002), entirely focused on vehicle safety applications enabled by wireless communications • Under framework of “Collision Avoidance Metrics Program” formed in 1995 by Ford, GM • Research on metrics related to crash avoidance • Goal: Accelerate deployment of in-vehicle safety products • Specifies minimum performance levels for components, including communications • Members: DCX, GM, Toyota, VW, Ford, BMW, Nissan

8. VSCC Goals • Estimate potential safety benefits of communications-based vehicle safety applications • Define communications requirements for applications with greatest potential for providing safety benefits • Work with SDOs to ensure that proposed 5.9GHz protocols meet these requirements • Investigate specific technical issues for 5.9GHz to support deployment of vehicle safety applications • Estimate deployment feasibility of communications-based vehicle safety applications • Assess ability of proposed 5.9GHz protocols to meet the needs of safety applications • Demonstrations and tests through 2004-2005

9. National Public Safety Telecommunication Council(NPSTC) • Coordination of 4.9GHz and 5.9 GHz band use • Software defined radio (SDR) technology being considered for public safety coverage
