New OmniAir Tiger Team to Address Misbehavior Detection for V2X
OmniAir Consortium® has launched a new initiative to develop certification tests for cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) misbehavior detection.
OmniAir’s new Misbehavior Detection Tiger Team will focus on the problem of C-V2X devices transmitting bad data, either willfully or unintentionally. This misbehavior can be due to software glitches, hardware failures, or even deliberate attacks. A misbehavior detection mechanism can help to minimize the risks of inaccurate data and to ensure that potentially malicious users can be removed from the V2X ecosystem.
Dr. Anthony Lopez of Qualcomm is leading the new tiger team, as part of OmniAir’s Cybersecurity Working Group, chaired by Brian Romansky of INTEGRITY Security Services.
The goal is to develop standardized, interoperable testing procedures to support evolving V2X security requirements. The initial session provided valuable clarity around architectural considerations, tooling assumptions, and key terminology, laying a solid foundation for the technical work ahead.
The team will investigate how to simulate and to detect misbehavior and seek consensus on message formats and certificate revocation list (CRL) distribution methods. A focus will be to create realistic, repeatable, and vendor-neutral test cases, starting with a basic test framework that will expand over time. The development of well-defined test cases is expected to motivate and challenge device manufacturers to develop the functionality to fully support the end-to-end misbehavior detection process.
We encourage interested OmniAir members, especially those with expertise in V2X security, to join the effort. The kick-off meeting took place last week. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 14.
