Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is treated as an extension of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication network. IoV helps in enhancing driving aids with the help of vehicle Artificial Intelligence (AI) awareness of other vehicles and their actions. IoV is connected in an adhoc networking environment which utilizes each vehicle in the network as a node, called Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET), where the vehicles may be also connected to the public Internet. It is specifically important for the autonomous vehicles because they can instantaneously communicate with other vehicles surrounding them. In addition, safely avoiding accident prone zones is crucial in order to continue secure and smart transportation. Since the communication among various entities involved in the IoV environment is via open channel, it gives an opportunity to a passive/active adversary to intercept, modify, delete or even insert fake information during communication. It is then a serious concern for the vehicles users to determine whether the received information is genuine. In this survey paper, various security aspects, threats and attacks, network and threat models related to the IoV environment are discussed. Next, a taxonomy of security protocols is given that is essential to provide IoV data security. In particular, focus on various authentication protocols is given that is needed for mutual authentication among the involved entities in the IoV environment for secure communication. A detailed comparative analysis among various state-of-art authentication protocols proposed in the related IoV environment is provided to show their effectiveness as well as security and functionality features. Moreover, some testbeds are described that were designed and implemented for the IoV environment. In addition, some future challenges for IoV security protocols are also highlighted that are necessary to address in the future.

“…A performance analysis is provided yet the details and performance implications of using a Blockchain are not fully detailed. Simultaneously, Zhang et al [136] have developed a Blockchain-based decentralized keyless signature scheme for the ESG. To do so, Zhang and colleagues developed a new consensus method for deploying authentication procedures in the Blockchain based on the Merkle hash tree.…”

“…Smart grids consist of many components, with three most distinct and main components: Smart meters, aggregators, and service providers. The smart meter is a solid-state programmable device that is responsible for recording the amount of energy consumed and provide the electricity price information for the customers [2]. Usually, smart meters record power frequently and report daily at least.…”

Smart grid is a great revolution in communications that has succeeded in overcoming traditional network problems. However, smart grid components may face many security challenges that make the smart grid vulnerable to many attacks such as impersonation and replay attacks and user privacy disclosure. To cope with these challenging problems, we propose a lightweight authenticated key establishment scheme depending on data aggregation by using elliptic curve cryptography to create shared keys between smart meter and data aggregator, and between data aggregator and service provider. The data aggregator reduces the burden on smart meters and transfers consumption data safely as it is the mediator between the smart meter and the service provider. The proposed scheme can provide mutual authentication, anonymity and untraceability of smart meter, and can resist impersonation and replay attacks. In addition, the proposed scheme reduces the overall computation costs compared to other recent related schemes.
