Improve cybersecurity of C-ITS Road Side Infrastructure Installations: the SerIoT - Secure and Safe IoT approach

Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) need to be secured as it is deployed on roads in Europe. While some aspects of the communication security are secured others could still need improvement. SerIoT as a security project for the internet of things and offers various security mechanisms from the IoT domain which could be beneficial for C-ITS. Such security mechanisms contain a software defined network, the usage of honeypots and several mechanisms to analyze, monitor and mitigate threats on the system. Therefore C-ITS will benefit tremendously of the functionalities from these security mechanisms designed to cope with large attack surfaces and high network traffic found in IoT environments. To enable these technologies, modules developed within SerIoT are planned to be integrated into the Road Side ITS station. The station will also be connected to SerIoT SDN routers providing security for the station from malicious vehicles and the network
