Abstract

A fuel dispenser is an embedded system, whichis used to transfer fuel from reservoir tank to vehicles fuel tank.Modern Fuel Dispensing Unit (FDU) contains both mechanical and electronic systems.Electronic parts control the working of the dispensing unit. Mechanical system consists ofan electric motor, pump and valves, nozzle to control the fuel. In the case of FDU, both hardware and software attacks are possible, but software attacks will happen only through hardware such ascommunication interface or tapping wires from PCB. In this situation hardware security analysis of fuel dispenser unit is highly important. Smart flow meter (Pulsar) is one of the electro-mechanical components in the Fuel Dispensing Unit, which is used toconvert the mechanical signal to an electrical signal. This project intends to do the hardware security analysis and identifying the various vulnerabilities present in the smart flow meter, thereby suggesting suitable mitigation techniques so as to provide maximum hardware securityto the smart flow meter.
