Security experimental framework of trajectory planning for autonomous vehicles

Abstract

In the contemporary landscape, autonomous vehicles (AVs) have emerged as a prominent technological advancement globally. Despite their widespread adoption, significant hurdles remain, with security standing out as a critical concern. The potential for attacks within AV networks, exemplified by the Trajectory Privacy Attack on Autonomous Driving (T-PAAD), underscores the urgency for robust security measures. Unfortunately, existing simulations for preemptively assessing the T-PAAD attack's impact are scarce. This paper introduces the Security Experimental Framework for Autonomous Vehicles (SEFAV), designed to address this gap by providing a versatile platform for simulating security scenarios in AV environments. SEFAV is cross-platform and compatible with different operating systems such as Windows and Linux, enhancing accessibility for researchers and practitioners. Our primary focus lies in showcasing the T-PAAD attack within our framework, highlighting its efficacy in evaluating and fortifying AV security.
