Abstract:

The rapid development of intelligent connected vehicles has driven the evolution of in-vehicle network architectures from traditional CAN bus to Ethernet with higher bandwidth and stronger scalability. By evaluating the compatibility of the CAN bus intrusion detection system in the in-vehicle Ethernet environment, it is possible to maximize the utilization of existing security resources, providing a systematic solution for the evolution of the security architecture of intelligent connected vehicles while reducing system design costs. However, there are significant differences between CAN bus and in-vehicle Ethernet in terms of communication characteristics, protocol stacks, and data transmission mechanisms. To address the issue of security resource transformation, this paper comprehensively analyzed the Ethernet compatibility of existing CAN intrusion detection systems from four dimensions, including protocol adaptability, detection method compatibility, processing capacity, and expandability. Moreover, optimization strategies such as multi-level protocol adaptation, detection method improvement, real-time performance and resource optimization, and enhanced architecture expandability were proposed.
