VANET security is an evolving topic in mobile networks, as providing a secure layer of communications in such a dynamic and fast network is a challenge. The work presented in this article was conducted in order to verify and evaluate the feasibility of applying group broadcast cryptography to the VANET environment, as an attempt to gain performance by decreasing the number of messages in the wireless network. Group broadcast is a symmetric/asymmetric hybrid cryptography method, aiming to merge the best of the two approaches without their major drawbacks. Simulations were setup and run using the ONE simulator, comparing the usage of the three different cryptography approaches for VANETs. Results consider the number of connections, the number messages and the number of revocation messages per day. The resulting data promises that group broadcast encryption can be used to simplify the encrypting phase, reduce required storage and significantly decrease the number of messages in the network.
