Review on various authentication schemes and attacks on connected vehicles

Abstract

Connected cars are comfortable to drivers. But it also threat to humans. Connected vehicles share data like street safety, traffic analysis, road administration information like café, hospital, etc utilizing intruded on web availability and it is time delicate. Connected vehicles allow drivers and passengers to connect to the outside world while on the road. Security is the primary challenge for automakers and other stakeholders, because connected vehicles rely on wireless and cellular communication interfaces. Information should be protected from intruders. The communications between connected vehicles should be a trusted one. Safety is the primary focus of connected cars and the intruders should be identified and the intruders and falsified nodes can be identified by authentication schemes. In VANET vehicles react as indicated by the data got from the opposite end, so it is very vital that the data spreading in the framework is valid and produced by a genuine client. But there are many pitfalls in various authentication schemes. Privacy of the connected vehicles should be while sharing information and also information shared between connected vehicles should be an authenticated one. So still it a major challenge in connected vehicles due to the special characteristics like mobility, time sensitive, etc. This survey discussed the various authentication schemes and the various attacks related to that. Based on the survey, future directions of the secured trusted communications of connected vehicles have been discussed. The aim of this survey is to identify secured authentication techniques for a trusted communication.
