Abstract

In this thesis we answer two questions relating to the impending deployment of V2X. We answer, "What is the state of current privacy measures implemented to prevent tracking and promote anonymity?" We answer this by showing that tracking methods used to circumvent changing IDs are possible. We also show through conservative calculations that this problem will not go away on its own and requires direct effort. We also answer, "Is the available production V2X hardware ready for scalable deployment?" To do this we develop a framework for evaluating RSUs and many of their core functions related to deployment, scalability, and management. We find that generally RSUs perform their tasks sufficiently. The areas lacking the most align with the areas with the most change in the last several years. During the course of this research, we had access to production-level hardware and data sets from deployed V2X test networks. We believe this gives extra weight to our work as we have not found another research group with the breadth of access we were granted. We hope this work will provide clear and accurate insight into the developmental landscape of V2X and inform industry and regulatory leaders on critical decisions which need to be made about security and V2X development.
