[Abstract] Cybercrime targeting financial fraud is increasing worldwide. And it has given a big damage to the economy. Countermeasures will become more necessary because monetary damage caused by cybercrime will increase. However, damage is not only money.We are concerned that it would be threatening human life in the future.
New cybercrime threats would emerge behind IoT. If a particular IoT device is attacked, the damage will extend to human life. For example, we are concerned about carjacking from remote. We should be researching security against such threats.
In this talk, we introduce overview of our research about code execution theory on vehicle ECU and threat analysis of IoT platform.
