Securing In-boat CAN Communication over the Internet
2015
Opening a communication channel to the internal vehicle bus of pleasure boats through
the Internet, offers benefits such as remote diagnostics and software update of boat
components. An undesirable consequence of this communication is a broad range of
security threats which could can damage to the boat and company. Therefore, it is
important that the communication channel is secured and these threats are mitigated.
In this report, we show that it is possible to create a secure communication channel to
the internal bus of a pleasure boat with an inexpensive embedded device. The solution is
based on knowledge from the automotive and embedded device sector, and possible ways
for protecting against these threats have been analyzed. A solution has been tested with
an embedded device having access to the internal bus and connection to the Internet
using a smartphone, while maintaining confidentiality, integrity and authenticity . The
final results show that it is possible to create the communication channel with this
inexpensive embedded device. The communication between the device and the server is
secured with Transport Layer Security with sufficient throughput for various tasks. In
addition to this, the embedded device need no manual input except for conguration of
the smartphone. In essence, this thesis offers a proof-of-concept for an inexpensive way
to improve customer support.
