Hyperloop is among the most prominent future transportation systems. First introduced by Elon Musk, Hyperloop concept involves novel technologies to allow traveling at a maximum speed of 1220km/h, while guaranteeing sustainability. Due to the system's performance requirements and the critical infrastructure it represents, its safety and security need to be carefully considered. In cyber-physical systems, cyberattacks could lead to safety issues with catastrophic consequences, both on the population and the surrounding environment. Therefore, the cybersecurity of all the components and links in Hyperloop represents a fundamental challenge. To this day, no research investigated the cyber security of the technology used for Hyperloop. In this paper, we propose the first analysis of the cybersecurity challenges raised by Hyperloop technology. We base our analysis on the related works on Hyperloop, distilling the common features which will be likely to be present in the system. Furthermore, we provide an analysis of possible directions on the Hyperloop infrastructure management, together with their security concerns. Finally, we discuss possible countermeasures and future directions for the security of the future Hyperloop design.
