Automotive, Security, Controller Area Networks (CAN), Transceivers

RbT Protocol is a proposed hardware-based solution that depends on a new modified CAN transceiver. RbT MAC generation and verification rules are based on sender's parameters and the transmitted message parameters, ensuring protection against attacks targeting messages' authentication, authentication, and authorization of the sender nodes. RbT is proved to add negligible busload overhead while respecting strict real-time response constraints. RbT is shown to provide much better busload overhead results than the studied software-based protocols, and a better busload overhead results over the studied hardware-based protocol. In addition, RbT protocol is invulnerable against MITM attacks unlike CaCAN protocol due to the sender node authentication applied in RbT protocol.
