Best Research Paper Award for ATHENE researchers

The paper "Analyzing and Securing SOME/IP Automotive Services with Formal and Practical Methods", written by ATHENE researchers Timm Lauser, Dustin Kern and Prof. Christoph Krauß, all of Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, and Daniel Zelle, Fraunhofer SIT, was awarded with the Best Research Paper Award at the "International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security", ARES for short.

In the paper, the researchers describe a formal and practical security analysis of the Scalable service-Oriented MiddlewarE over IP (SOME/IP) middleware - software that is used in many cars today to augment communications in our state-of-the-art vehicles. In addition to the security analysis, they identify possible attack scenarios and propose two security enhancements.
