contents With cooperative perception, autonomous vehicles can wirelessly share sensor data and representations to overcome sensor occlusions, improving situational awareness. Securing such data exchanges is crucial for connected autonomous vehicles. Existing, automated reputation-based approaches often suffer from a delay between detection and exclusion of misbehaving vehicles, while majority-based approaches have communication overheads that limits scalability. In this paper, we introduce CATS, a novel automated system that blends together the best traits of reputation-based and majority-based detection mechanisms to secure vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications for cooperative perception, while preserving the privacy of cooperating vehicles. Our evaluation with city-scale simulations on realistic traffic data shows CATS's effectiveness in rapidly identifying and isolating misbehaving vehicles, with a low false negative rate and overheads, proving its suitability for real world deployments.
