Security for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has released a report titled “Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications: Readiness of V2V Technology for Application.” It’s very long, and mostly not interesting to me, but there are security concerns sprinkled throughout: both authentication to ensure that all the communications are accurate and can’t be spoofed, and privacy to ensure that the communications can’t be used to track cars. It’s nice to see this sort of thing thought about in the beginning, when the system is first being designed, and not tacked on at the end.

“It’s nice to see this sort of thing thought about in the beginning, when the system is first being designed…”
Except for the back door that our government will be sure is put into it so that they can track us everywhere we go with impunity.
