This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $364,952 to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to develop methods for securing connected autonomous vehicle systems against cyber-physical attacks. The project aims to address critical security vulnerabilities in the complex interactions between self-driving software and vehicle control systems, investigating hybrid attacks targeting sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator channels. The research will generate new insights into cybersecurity threats and explore real-time security mechanisms, graceful system degradation, intrusion tolerance, and safe recovery to enhance the security and resilience of autonomous vehicles. The outcomes are expected to extend to other cyber-physical systems like drones, smart agriculture, and manufacturing. The award period runs from Jul 15, 2025 to Jun 30, 2030.
