Automotive DoIP Cybersecurity analysis
Ning Xu, Feng Luo · Advances in Engineering Innovation · 2025
The paradigm shifts from a closed system to an always-on and fully connected vehicle leads to a largely increased risk to the automotive in-vehicle domain. Thereby, important automotive-specific protocols, which must be protected from a security point of view. This paper focuses on security aspects of Automotive Ethernet to address security challenges of the DoIP. First, it starts with an overview description of DoIP. Then, based on an exemplary in-vehicle network architecture, diagnostic via automotive ethernet by using DoIP are analyzed under security aspects with the help of Microsofts threat model. We identify the assets and attack surface of DoIP End Nodes and DoIP data flow, and risk assessment is carried out for DoIP data flow. Finally, the DoIP Cybersecurity goals and risk treatments are proposed to tackle the identified DoIP attacks.
