In the context of vehicular networks, certificate management is challenging because of the dynamic topology and privacy requirements. In this paper we propose a technique that combines certificate omission and certificate pre-distribution in order to reduce communication overhead and to minimize cryptographic packet loss. Simulation results show that this technique is useful to improve awareness quality during pseudonym changes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
