Master Thesis - Secure Service-Oriented Communication Automotive Job Description

Master Thesis - Secure Service-Oriented Communication for Automotive Use Cases.

Work Environment
Innovative electronic systems provide the basis for the intelligent car of tomorrow. At Audi Electronics Venture GmbH we actively shape the future of mobility. As a fully owned Audi subsidiary, we provide an impetus for new ideas and are the pre-development partner for AUDI AG.

Thanks to our large development network, we bring together experts who develop innovative concepts and technologies to market maturity. We create and secure access to key technologies for Audi.

Job Purpose/Role
This master-thesis is concerned with the security of service-oriented communication in automotive scenarios. Currently, communication in vehicles is defined in a static manner. In future, significant parts of communication in automotive use cases will be service-oriented.

This includes communication inside the vehicle, across vehicles and between vehicle and cloud. The SOME/IP standard provides a service-oriented communication middleware for networks based on the internet protocol. This standard shall form the basis for this thesis. 

The following detailed steps are required for the completion of this thesis: 

• A high-level threat analysis to determine the attacker and threat model to protect against needs to be performed 
• Conceptual integrations of a server and client authentication with SOME/IP, based on existing authentication protocols are to be proposed 
• The major authentication protocols and their integration potential shall be compared 
• A concept for authorization of services (data, RPC, etc.) shall be proposed 
• The security relevance of the individual parts of the SOME/IP protocols (message header, service discovery, etc.) needs to be determined based on the threat analysis above 
• All of the above concepts shall be implemented prototypically. Specific focus shall be put on the following items: 
  o Authentication 
  o Encryption 
  o TCP and UDP support 
• A performance analysis (startup latency, etc.) of the prototypical implementation shall show the potential of the developed approach 
  
  The exact topic is defined in collaboration with the supervising university.
