Abstract
A method for protecting against cyber attacks in a communication network of a vehicle, including the steps of acquiring dominant voltage measurements; obtaining an electrical characteristic of nodes that transmit messages by acquiring consecutive groups of voltage measurements at receiving nodes and calculating a distribution thereof; calculating values of distribution statistics; calculating a cumulative voltage deviation for each value of statistic; and obtaining a voltage profile by adding the cumulative voltage deviations of each statistic, executing a malicious-node detection procedure and then executing a transmitting-node identification procedure including comparing the at least one characteristic parameter against all the corresponding characteristic parameters of all the messages, defining a range of variation of the characteristic parameter with respect to a given number of previous samples; and evaluating whether the value of the parameter falls within the range of variation of one of the messages and identifying as malicious the node that transmits the message.
