Abstract

An autonomous vehicle is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. Imbibing intelligence to these devices is through a system called embedded systems. Embedded Systems are combinations of hardware and software that are mounted on compact electronic circuit boards integrated into devices. Autonomous vehicles sense their surroundings with such techniques as radar, GPS, and computer vision. These systems are more intelligent and autonomous.

The challenge faced by this system is that; there are many possible ways for hacking the GPS. This system also contains alternate way for moving the car even if still the GPS is blocked. But the alternative ways are still focused on connection with the satellite. Now there needs to be a total security for preventing hackers from hacking the satellite. This is going to be done by encrypting the signal sent from car to the satellite. There are many ways of encrypting, among which we are going to use the concept of Secret key Encryption method. We use One-Time-Pad concept where the data is converted to cipher text and then it is going to be decrypted by the satellite. By this way, we could create a high level security where only that particular car and the satellite will have a common code and each time the car moves to a location, there is going to be a random key generated.

The current topic which we had chosen is one of a major problem in autonomous cars, which needs to be focused on. Our objective is to bring a complete security for the car and its owner.
