Secure Sensing inputs for Autonomous Vehicles

This project aims to secure the insecure communication channels within the sensor network in an autonomous vehicle using low cost hardware such as the Beaglebone Black and the Cryptocape.

Setting up the Beaglebone Black

To set up a new board, follow the instructions in the file BEAGLEBONE_SETUP.

Creating Certificates

After setting up the boards, run compile.sh. Do take note of the directories and paths of the various libraries and make the necessary changes.

On the board acting as a CA, run the following

sudo ./cagen.exe

This will generate the root certificate

To create an intermediate certificate:

1. Generate a certificate signing request: sudo ./gencsr.exe
2. Send the .csr over to the CA
3. On the CA, sign the CSR: sudo ./signcsr.exe

For communication, each board should have the root certificate and the intermediate certificate of the other board which it wants to communicate with.

##Running the Protocol

1. On the receiving board (board connected to CPU), run sudo ./b.exe
2. On the sending board (board connected to sensors), run sudo ./a.exe

Note: b.exe must be running for a.exe to work.
