SEBAP:  A secure and efficient biometric‐assisted authentication protocol using ECC for vehicular cloud computing

Abstract

Summary Vehicular cloud computing (VCC) is an emerging research area of cloud and vehicular networking. It equips vehicles with networking and sensing capacities for vehicle‐to‐vehicle or vehicle‐to‐infrastructure communication with available roadside infrastructure. It is significantly utilized in traffic management and road safety using cloud applications. To obtain impressive networking in vehicular communication, there is a need of hybrid technological approach in the form of VCC utilizing vehicular resources, cloud infrastructure, and Internet of Things (IoT) environment. VCC presents smart vehicular communication structure and maintains autonomous traffic, improved vehicle control, and enhanced system security. Security and privacy has appeared to be a major concern in VCC because of involvement of unknown vehicles and infrastructure via public network. In this article, we propose a biometric and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC)‐assisted authentication framework for VCC. The presented framework obtains most of security features and attributes for secure communication in the presence of active and passive attackers. Further, we provide formal security model and its proof, which is based on random oracle model. We compare the performance of our protocol with similar frameworks in the same environment. Our analysis indicates that the presented framework is secure and efficient in terms of communication and computation overheads. As a result, the presented protocol can be utilized in VCC.

Distributed auditing protocol for blockchain‐based transactions using a distributed signature

“…We give up the cost and execution time of the symmetric encryption/decryption algorithm. We assume that the cost and execution time of inversion and multiplication operations are equal. To have a fair comparison, we assume the ElGamal cryptosystem for auditing protocols presented by a generic encryption/decryption and signature algorithms. According to 34 , the executing times and cost of multiplication, point adding, and point doubling have been assumed almost equal. …”

“…To compare the execution time of the DA‐DS protocol with other auditing protocols we have presented Table 3 due to calculated execution times in Ref. 34‐36 ( U is assumed as smartphone has the Hisilicon Kirin 925, 2.45‐GHz processor, and 3‐GB memory, a i s are assumed as laptops using the Intel I7‐4460S, 3.1 GHz processor, and 16 GB memory, and CA is assumed as a PC using the Intel I7‐6700k, 4.0‐GHz processor, and 32‐GB memory 34 ).…”

Emerging ICT applications and services—Big data, IoT, and cloud computing

“…Kumar et al 8 proposed a secure and efficient biometric‐based authentication protocol framework for vehicle cloud computing (VCC) with the help of the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). It provided secure communication in vehicular applications with various security features and attributes, including password authentication, vehicular data protection, and vehicle driver's identity authentication satisfied by the proposed protocol (SEBAP).…”
