A secure authentication and key agreement scheme with dynamic management for vehicular networks

Abstract

The development of 5G communication, big data technology and intelligent transportation system has driven the rapid development of vehicle network (VANET). However, with the rapid development of vehicle networks, it will be invaded by various security problems, such as privacy disclosure, session key security, forward security, etc. To eliminate the security threats faced by the vehicle network and ensure privacy and secure communication between vehicles and roadside units(RSU), it is necessary to introduce a secure, reliable, and efficient authentication key agreement scheme. Therefore, based on the principle of challenge authentication handshake protocol, we propose a novel security authentication and key agreement scheme for the vehicle networks. The scheme meets mutual authentication, and is the session key of communication protocol between vehicle and roadside unit to resist common attacks. In addition, compared with other schemes, our scheme has the advantage that we can flexibly set time keys to constrain vehicle behaviour and achieve dynamic vehicle management. We also give a formal security proof of the scheme under the random oracle model (ROM). Finally, the efficiency of the protocol is evaluated, and the computing and communication overhead of our scheme is about 35% lower than that of the existing scheme. So, our scheme is more practical.
