A Model-Based Approach for Analysis of Data-Alteration Attacks in Co-operative Vehicles

This work presents a modular approach for modelling and analysing the effects of data-alteration attacks in co-operative vehicles applications. The approach exploits multi-model simulation and Funtional Mock-Up Interface (FMI)-based co-simulation tools. The system model is extended with an attacker Functional Mockup Unit (FMU) which implements a strategy for the injection of the attack. Co-simulation results can be analysed to show the behavioural traces of the system under various attacks. The approach is applied to a platoon of vehicles
