University of Missouri Publishes Survey on Thermal Side-Channel Attacks on Autonomous Driving
Understand the story
Researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) published a survey paper titled "Can Autonomous Vehicles Keep Their Cool?", focusing on the risk of thermal side-channel attacks faced by autonomous vehicles. The survey categorizes 13 representative research works into three types of attacks: thermal sensing integrity attacks, telemetry leakage attacks, and model information extraction attacks, and provides a comparative analysis of each study across dimensions such as attacker privileges, time scales, and co-existing deployments. On the defense side, the paper maps existing defense measures to the residual risk in thermal management runtimes, pointing out that potential security risks remain even when defenses are in place. The survey shows that thermal side channels have become an attack surface worthy of attention in autonomous driving security research, providing a systematic classification and comparison framework for future research.
