An Efficient Key Agreement And Anonymous Mutual Authentication Protocols For Secure Communication In VANETs

Abstract

In recent years, the technology of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) has turned into a significant field of research. A VANET is a form of network that is built on the notion of constructing a network of vehicles for a given scenario, and it is ad-hoc in nature. Data can be transmitted via vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-roadside (V2R) connections. A VANET is a type of network that is essential for a variety of traffic safety applications and accident prevention. A VANET is a wireless network that connects a group of moving or static vehicles. In vehicle contexts, VANETs play a critical role in delivering safety and comfort to drivers. These include intelligent traffic control, real-time data, and activity management. The data is transmitted through a wireless network. This can lead to security and privacy problems. We proposed an authentication protocol for secure communication in VANETs. Vehicle authentication has been identified as one of the security techniques in vehicular networks for preventing unauthorized access by attackers. Furthermore, the majority of solutions are focused on authentication between V2V communications only. However, V2R authentication is also very much essential for securing VANETs. According to an evaluation of its performance, our suggested system is more efficient in minimizing computation and storage overheads.
