Opportunities for Master's thesis

We are looking for Master's students interested in working on topics related to Automotive Cyber Security for they final thesis. A set of relevant and interesting topics is below:
  • Data fusion/verification/cross-check between information recevied from MASA smart cameras and data sensed by automotive sensors
  • Securing V2V communications based on DSRC protocol
  • Creation of an open automotive testbench and dataset (data gathering, labeling, manual reverse engineering)
  • Analysis and comparison of PKI solutions for V2I and V2V communications
  • Analysis and comparison of testbeds for automotive cybersecurity testing (at least PASTA and OCTANE, possibly others)
  • Experimenting with adversarial attacks against lane detection algorithms
  • Efficient solutions for checking compliance against automotive cybersecurity standards (SAE J3061, ISO 26262, ISO 21434)
  • Survey and test of open source DSRC implementations
If you have a different (but related) topic in mind that you would like to work on, let us know.
