Identifying in-vehicle electronic control units based on voltage characteristics has been the subject of extensive research in cybersecurity. However, the results reported so far generally depend on restricted datasets and supervised learning. In this work, we show that clustering, i.e., unsupervised learning, of voltage characteristics, is in fact more challenging when done on a larger pool of electronic control units as several out-of-the-box clustering methods and metrics will fail to determine the correct number of clusters when exerted over a large dataset. To overcome this issue, we propose a new methodology that takes advantage of domain-specific constraints, which guide the search toward the correct number of electronic control units in a car, or even in a larger pool of units from several cars. We introduce two new metrics: correctness, which measures the success ratio with respect to the constraints, and divergence, which measures the consistency of the clustering, and show that they provide a strong indication for the optimal number of clusters. In this specific context, both metrics prove to be more reliable than the widely used Silhouette score, Davies-Bouldin and Calinski-Harabas indexes. We successfully test our methodology on the largest dataset available today for in-vehicle voltage characteristics and discover new insights regarding the number of devices.
