Abstract

Vehicular networks play an important role in current intelligent transportation networks and have gained much attention from academia and industry. Vehicular networks can be enhanced by Long Term Evolution-Vehicle (LTE-V) technology, which has been defined in a series of standards by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). LTE-V technology is a systematic and integrated V2X solution. To guarantee secure LTE-V communication, security and privacy issues must be addressed before the network is deployed. The present study aims to improve the security functionality of vehicular LTE networks by proposing an efficient and secure ID-based message authentication scheme for vehicular networks, named the ESMAV. We demonstrate its ability to simultaneously support both mutual authentication and privacy protection. In addition, the ESMAV exhibit better performance in terms of overhead computation, communication cost, and security functions, which includes privacy preservation and non-frameability.

Highlights

  • With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, vehicular ad hoc networks have become a key technology in intelligent transportation systems (ITS)

  • To address the authentication request challenges that are applicable to massive on-board units (OBUs) in Long Term Evolution-Vehicle (LTE-V)-based networks, the present study designed and proposed an efficient identity-based message authentication for long-term evolution (LTE)-V networks (ESMAV)

  • 1) An efficient identity-based message authentication scheme was proposed for LTE-V networks

Summary

Introduction

With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, vehicular ad hoc networks have become a key technology in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Various wireless access technologies are available to provide the radio interface required by the vehicular communications, including traditional Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11p, cellular systems, and infrared communications. These operate in different frequency bands provide varying communication ranges, data rates, channel bandwidths, and mobility supporting capability features [2]. The enhancement and fusion of vehicular wireless network communication technology between vehicles, pedestrians, infrastructure, and the environment can improve traffic safety and efficiency [3]. LTE technologies exhibit high data rates, high penetration rates, comprehensive QoS supporting, and extended coverage These technologies possess natural benefits to provide V2I communications. LTE is vulnerable to many types of attack given that adversaries can intercept, modify, replay, and delete messages between the sender and the receiver [11]
