Service-oriented architecture has attracted attention in automotive development. The Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) specifies Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP (SOME/IP) as a key middleware for service-oriented communication in-vehicles. However, SOME/IP-based networks are vulnerable to server spoofing during the service discovery phase, enabling attackers to cause man-in-the-middle attacks by impersonating legitimate services. This paper proposes…
