Research Area
Autonomous and connected vehicles introduce complex security and trust challenges. These systems communicate with infrastructure, other vehicles, and cloud services over networks that are inherently exposed to adversarial interference. Securing these communication layers, while maintaining the low-latency requirements of safety-critical systems, is an open research problem.
This research, conducted at the University of Luxembourg between 2020 and 2025, investigated how Zero Trust Network Architecture principles can be applied to autonomous driving environments. Zero Trust, the security model that eliminates implicit network trust and enforces continuous verification, offers a principled framework for reasoning about security in highly distributed, heterogeneous vehicle networks.
