Demo: Quantifying Trust in a Trust Assessment Framework

Vehicular communication via V2X networks increases road safety, but is vulnerable to data manipulation which can lead to serious incidents. Existing security systems, such as misbehavior detection systems, have limitations in detecting and mitigating such threats. To address these challenges, we have implemented a software prototype of a Trust Assessment Framework (TAF) that assesses the trustworthiness of received V2X data by integrating evidence from multiple trust sources. This interactive demonstration illustrates the quantification of trust for a smart traffic light system application. We demonstrate the impact of varying evidence coming from a misbehavior detection system and a security report generator on the trust assessment process. We also showcase internal processing steps within our TAF when receiving new evidence, up to and including the eventual decision making on the trustworthiness of the received V2X data.
