COVID-19 Vehicle Based on an Efficient Mutual Authentication Scheme for 5G-Enabled Vehicular Fog Computing

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently having disastrous effects on every part of human life everywhere in the world. There have been terrible losses for the entire human race in all nations and areas. It is crucial to take good precautions and prevent COVID-19 because of its high infectiousness and fatality rate. One of the key spreading routes has been identified to be transportation systems. Therefore, improving infection tracking and healthcare monitoring for high-mobility transportation systems is impractical for pandemic control. In order to enhance driving enjoyment and road safety, 5G-enabled vehicular fog computing may gather and interpret pertinent vehicle data, which open the door to non-contact autonomous healthcare monitoring. Due to the urgent need to contain the automotive pandemic, this paper proposes a COVID-19 vehicle based on an efficient mutual authentication scheme for 5G-enabled vehicular fog computing. The proposed scheme consists of two different aspects of the special flag, SF = 0 and SF = 1, denoting normal and COVID-19 vehicles, respectively. The proposed scheme satisfies privacy and security requirements as well as achieves COVID-19 and healthcare solutions. Finally, the performance evaluation section shows that the proposed scheme is more efficient in terms of communication and computation costs as compared to most recent related works.

Formal validation of authentication scheme in 5G-enabled vehicular networks using AVISPA

“…The proposed solution lets vehicles authenticate each other without a group of signers, an active road side unit (RSU) network, a secret key, or other protections. For 5G-assisted vehicular fog computing, Al-Shareeda and Manickam [25] offered a COVID-19 vehicle built on an efficient mutual authentication system. The suggested system employs two different values for the special flag: SF=0 for typical vehicles and SF=1 for COVID-19 vehicles.…”

Parallel lightweight Block Cipher algorithm for Multicore CPUs

“…These security functions, which can all be secured using widely accepted cryptographic algorithms, include source authentication, data integrity, and information confidentiality 7 . Moreover, Lightweight ciphers are relevant in wireless communication, as evidence such as the works in [8][9][10] .…”

Efficient Authentication Scheme for 5G-Enabled Vehicular Networks Using Fog Computing

“…Upon the arrival of the 5G era, all vehicles inside the vehicular network were required to have a wireless communication device installed, known as an onboard unit (OBU), for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity. Using the OBU gadget, the vehicles could send and receive messages with one another [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”
