Purpose: TIAMI proposes to design a zero-trust cybersecurity architecture tailored to C-V2X communications. Present technology is vulnerable to a broad range of security threats due to the broadcast nature of the wireless medium, and malicious actors which can easily induce fatal incidents.

The proposed architecture will prevent a multitude of attacks such as broadcast message spoofing, man-in-the-middle, denial-of-service, and syncref timing reference spoofing on connected vehicles.

Activities to be performed: During Phase I, a zero-trust cybersecurity architecture tailored to C-V2X will be developed that decreases the vulnerability of existing wireless technology.

Expected outcomes: Technology development under this Phase I is expected to prevent a multitude of attacks such as broadcast message spoofing, man-in-the-middle, denial-of-service, and syncref timing reference spoofing on connected vehicles.

Intended beneficiaries: The awardee's intended beneficiaries are the automotive and telecommunication sectors. Adoption of C-V2X technology is growing at an accelerated rate. GM and Ford are currently leading original equipment manufacturer adoption of C-V2X in the US. In the telecommunication sector C-V2X infrastructure by US carriers like AT&T and Verizon will also drive growth as they roll out compatibility with 5G networks.

Subrecipient activities: No consultants, contracts and subawards will be used in Phase I.
