Design and Analysis of Embedded Automotive Networks

 

March 26, 2016,  10:00 am – 2:00 pm, at the National Electronics Museum

 

Speaker:   Sekar Kulandaivel

 

Abstract:

As more electronic and wireless technologies permeate modern automobiles, understanding the design of an embedded automotive network becomes necessary to protect drivers from external agents with a malicious intent to disrupt onboard electronics. By analyzing the different types of automotive networks and current security issues that the industry faces, we will learn how intruders are able to access an automotive network, read data that streams from the connected devices, and inject potentially malicious messages. This course will cover the electrical design of automotive networks, the communication protocols between electronic control units, and methods for analyzing network messages.

 

Bio:

            Sekar Kulandaivel is a fourth-year Computer Engineering student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). He currently works on designing an intrusion detection system for automotive networks with Dr. Nilanjan Banerjee of the UMBC Eclipse Cluster. Sekar has had previous internships at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Northrop Grumman Corporation, and Johns Hopkins University. He plans to pursue a PhD in Computer Engineering with a focus in cyber-physical systems.
