Variable Speed Limit Signs

BSidesOrlando 2015 Presentation

Synopsis

In recent years, digital speed limit signs have become increasingly common on roads and highways. But how do these signs fit into the evolving landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT)? How do they receive and display information? And perhaps most importantly, how secure are they? This talk explores the underlying systems, potential vulnerabilities, and the implications of unauthorized changes—such as maxing out the speed limit.

Note: This presentation was given in 2015, and while the concepts and insights remain valuable, some of the technical information may now be outdated.
