Automotive Cyber Security – CAN Protocol Analysis

Question 1

CAN protocol is the backbone of automotive networks. Considering CAN as an asset, complete composite threat modelling following the bullet points below, noting the mark distribution provided.

• Creating interconnecting drawing (5 Marks);
• Flow diagram (5 Marks);
• Creating and populating threat matrix with following fields (20 Marks) i.e.:
  • 1) List of vulnerabilities that could be exploited,
  • 2) difficulty level to protect against vulnerabilities,
• • 3) resource required to do the attack,

Question 2

Controller Area Network or CAN protocol is a method of communication between various electronic devices like engine management systems, active suspension, ABS, gear control, lighting control, air conditioning, airbags, central locking etc. embedded in an automobile.

CAN messages are un-encrypted. What encryption technique is the best suitable for CAN messages (Give general description (5 Marks) give statistical evidences of comparisons (5 Marks) and give high-level implementation details e.g., sudo code, algorithm, state diagram (10 Marks).

SOC 112 Module One Worksheet
Sociological Observation

 Before your observation, think about the following behaviors you might observe:

• Eye contact: Do people avoid making eye contact with you?
• Body language: Do people change their posture near you? Do they move away from you? Do they stop to see what you are doing?
• Facial expressions: Do people give you a strange look? Do they appear to be confused by your behavior? Suspicious? Amused? Indifferent? What does their facial expression look like and what does it suggest?
• Ignoring you: Do people simply ignore you? What about their behavior suggests that they are ignoring you?
• Social Factors: Did you feel your gender, race, ethnicity, or age affected how people responded to your presence? Did you see differences in how people were treated differently based on their gender, race, ethnicity, or age?

 In choosing a location for your sociological observation, consider how your race, ethnicity, and gender could affect how people (i.e., management, security) respond to you. Please choose a location where you can feel comfortable and safe to conduct your observation.

After your observation, answer the following questions in complete sentences (1–3 sentences per question). You must include at least one APA reference related to your observation. Explain whether it supports your observation, and cite it correctly in your explanation. Refer to the module Resources section in the course for help creating APA citations and references. Your responses will be graded using the Module One Worksheet Rubric.

To complete this worksheet, replace the bracketed text with the relevant information.

Questions	Your Answers
1. Where did you conduct your observation?	[Insert text.]
2. At what time of day did you conduct your observation?	[Insert text.]
3. How did your appearance as an individual affect your observation? For example, gender, race/ethnicity, age, dress, hairstyle, and so on.	[Insert text.]
4. Did anyone react to you? What did they look like, and what was their reaction?	[Insert text.]
5. How did you feel while you were conducting the observation? Was it difficult for you to be the observer? How did this observation differ from your life as an everyday actor?	[Insert text.]

References

(Include at least one academic reference in this section and include relevant in-text citations for each reference listed in the chart.)

DISCUSSION 1

Then, in one to two paragraphs address the following:

In sociology, we often use our “sociological imagination” to think about how our lives and the lives of others are influenced by things like gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or sexual orientation. Sociologist C. Wright Mills described one’s sociological imagination as being the ability to examine “the intersection between biography and history.” In this discussion, you will use your sociological imagination to think about how the life of someone living now would have been different 50 to 100 years ago.

After reviewing the resources for this module, select a famous figure from contemporary society (actor, musician, athlete, author, politician, etc.) and, using your own sociological imagination, imagine how different his or her life would have been if he or she were living 50 or 100 years earlier. Briefly discuss the person and the time period you’re imagining them in. Describe what those differences might be, paying particular attention to societal expectations (e.g., would a female primarily do domestic work in the home, or would she work in an office?) and characteristics that might be relevant (e.g., race, gender, class, occupation, marital status, etc.).

DISCUSSION 2  (TWO PARAGRAPH)

While culture refers to the way of life of a group of people, a subculture is a culture within a culture. A subculture is a social world that can be based on anything that draws individuals together and that has a distinctive way of life, as our textbook explains. Cosplayers, Red Sox fans, bikers, and hip hop fans are all examples of subcultures. Even the workplace can have its own subculture.

In this discussion, begin by selecting a subculture that you have learned about or to which you have had exposure. You may have learned about the subculture through television, through news coverage, or through your peer groups. Describe the cultural beliefs and biases of your chosen subculture, as well as some of their norms and taboos. Are there any positive or negative sanctions that one might be subject to for conforming to or violating a social norm?
