Cooperative anonymity authentication in Vehicular Networks

Abstract

Abstract-Data privacy in Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks(VANET) is a practical issue currently under the research and development. Privacy preserving anonymity authentication in network is a challenging topic combining anonymity, authentication, data privacy and network. Existing anonymity authentication in VANET are based on k-anonymity model, but K-anonymity model group selection may leak information due to absence of diversity in the sensitive attribute etc., and thus group selection is a problem left unresolved. In this paper, we would like to address anonymity authentication attack issues, how to improve efficiency and sustain anonymity service using cooperation instead of zero trust model, and flexibility of vehicular side group selection to adapt changing privacy-preserving concern. Therefore, we put together design of an anonymity authentication protocol with cooperation, data privacy, and privacy-preserving data publishing considerations. Through our extensive work, we demonstrated that privacypreserving anonymity authentication in VANET could be extended with more efficiency and cooperation plays a key role.

Improvizmg the public key infrastructure to build trust architecture for VANET by using short-time certificate management and Merkle Signature Scheme

“…They also proposed a new hybrid authentication mechanism VAST that combines the advantage of ECDSA and TESLA++. Jianmin Chen et al [9] addressed anonymity authentication attack issues. The authors addressed how to improve efficiency and sustain anonymity service using cooperation instead of zero trust model and flexibility of vehicular side group selection to adapt changing privacy preserving concern.…”

Security, Privacy and Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

“…By overhearing VANET communications, one powerful adversary may figure out the real identities of its interested nodes and profile them in terms of application accessing and personal information. Thus, several schemes [61], [62], [110] have been proposed to enable privacy-preserving node authentication in VANETs. Still, by overhearing the periodic beacons one adversary may collect the location history of any node.…”
