 Given the increasing level of digitization of automotive
transportation systems, new opportunities to enable greater functionality and
capabilities in vehicular platforms are emerging, including the enhancement of
driver safety and supporting semi- and fully-autonomous driving. Furthermore, in recent years there has been a
significant effort to connect these vehicles with each other and nearby
information infrastructure.
Nevertheless,
there exist numerous technical challenges in order to make these vehicular
systems reliable and safe, especially when it comes to security and
privacy. Specifically, with vehicular
systems becoming increasingly dependent on digital hardware, electronic
sensors, and wireless/wired connectivity within the vehicle as well as with
other vehicles and nearby information infrastructure, the demand to secure
these systems has become vitally important.
The objective of this special issue is to present the latest
insights, results/findings, and perspectives on the emerging and increasingly
important area of vehicular security and privacy. Vehicular security and privacy researchers
from industry, government, and academia are encouraged to submit their latest
research findings to this special issue.
VT Magazine solicits original
contributions that have not been published and are not currently under
consideration by any other journals. The topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:
- Privacy and data protection issues in vehicular settings
- Security of vehicular communications
- Security of open vehicle application platforms
- Security of
vehicular component protection solutions
- Vehicle cyber intrusion detection systems and incident
response
- Vehicular sensor security
- Spectrum sensing data falsification and countermeasures
- Vehicular privacy
- Vehicular hardware security
Submitted papers should contain state-of-the-art research
material presented in a tutorial or survey style. The manuscript format must
follow IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine guidelines:
- 3000–4000 words
- 5–10 figures
- 10–15 references
- Three mathematical equations maximum
All papers should be submitted online using
