Privacy‐preserving cloud‐fog–based traceable road condition monitoring in VANET

Abstract

With the development of intelligent vehicles, the research on road condition monitoring has attracted much attention in the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). The combination of VANET, cloud computing, and fog computing provides on-demand computational resources while creating a lot of new challenges. In this paper, we propose an efficient privacy-preserving cloud-fog-based traceable road surface condition monitoring scheme. We use certificateless aggregate signcryption technology to implement multiple messages aggregation verification, which greatly saves computing resources and bandwidth. Moreover, we also use a traceable vehicle pseudo identity generated by a trace authority (TRA) to achieve identity privacy protection. To ensure the privacy of the fog and cloud server, the road condition information is reported in ciphertext format. In addition, the cloud server can perform ciphertext equivalence test operation to distinguish different road condition information of the same area without compromising the confidentiality. The ciphertext, which exceeds the set threshold, is uploaded to the blockchain. It can be stored permanently and never be tampered with or deleted. Finally, we demonstrate the correctness of the proposed scheme and show that the proposed scheme has higher efficiency.

A Charging and Discharging Data Privacy Protection Scheme for V2G Networks Based on Cloud–Fog-End

“…Taking the example of m FNs, where each fog node region contains n EVs, we analyze the computational and communication overheads of the proposed scheme. Furthermore, we also compare our scheme with other related CLASC schemes (i.e., Basudan et al [27], Wang et al [28], Dai et al [24], and Zhang et al [25]). The first two schemes are based on fog computing architecture, while the latter two are based on traditional architecture.…”

Stochastic modeling and performance analysis in balancing load and traffic for vehicular ad hoc networks: A review

“…The safety messages are forwarded through the multihop routing protocol. 25,26 The heterogeneous vehicular networks (HetVNETs) have been proposed for vehicles moving in a lane to satisfy safety services and connectivity requirements. 27,28 VANETs suffer from various problems that include architectural inflexibility, wireless communication instability, limited range of networking, and frequent topological changes due to the rapid mobility of vehicles.…”

Blockchain-Based Privacy-Preserving for secure and efficient Maas Ecosystem in the context Of IoV: A Survey

“…Identified Gaps [49] Further research is needed to critically assess the system's scalability when dealing with a substantial volume of registered vehicles and information exchange. [50] The current scheme guarantees privacy and anonymity for vehicles by utilizing pseudonyms during communication, and only the traceability authority possesses knowledge of their actual identities. However, it is Permissioned (66.67%)…”
