Description of
Security Approach (continued)
§Risks:
□Analysis suggests minimal risk to safety in event of a
successful attack.
□Greatest
risk appears to be in reducing acceptance (and use) of an operational system if users do not trust it and ignore it.
□The
identified privacy attacks would require a significant level of effort and investment to implement. Risk of these types of attacks is thus lower
than utilizing existing
methods for tracking (cell phone or physically following a vehicle).
□The
identified privacy or system attacks would require insider knowledge of the system or physical access to a vehicle.
