As special ad-hoc networks, vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) support vehicles to communicate with each other via opportunistic wireless links. In order to protect privacy of drivers, vehicles registered in VANETs are required to authenticate and communicate with surrounding vehicles or roadside infrastructure anonymously. However, due to high-speed driving and wireless environment, it is vital to propose a privacy protection scheme that is able to balance security and efficiency. Consequently, this paper proposes an anonymous authentication scheme in VANETs (AAAS). Specifically, we add region trust authority to provide more efficient anonymous authentication service for vehicles. Subsequently, group signature mechanism is adopted to achieve anonymity and conditional privacy. Moreover, security and performance analysis show that AAAS has higher security and efficiency.
Speech enhancement in a vehicle environment remains a challenging task for the complex noise. The paper presents a feature extraction method that we use interchannel attention mechanism frame by frame for learning spatial features directly from the multichannel speech waveforms. The spatial features of the individual signals learned through the proposed method are provided as an input so that the two-stage BiLSTM network is trained to perform adaptive spatial filtering as time-domain filters spanning signal channels. The two-stage BiLSTM network is capable of local and global features extracting and reaches competitive results. Using scenarios and data based on car cockpit simulations, in contrast to other methods that extract the feature from multichannel data, the results show the proposed method has a significant performance in terms of all SDR, SI-SNR, PESQ, and STOI.
Vehicular social networks (VSNs) are the vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that integrate social networks. Compared with traditional VANETs, VSNs are more suitable to serve a group of vehicles with common interests. In VSNs, vehicles can upload the necessary data in the cloud service provider (CSP) and other vehicles can query the data they are interested in through CSP, which enables VSNs to provide more user-friendly services. However, due to the wireless network communication environment, the data sent by the vehicle can easily be monitored. Adversaries are able to violate the privacy of the vehicle based on the collected data, thereby threatening the security of the entire network. In addition, if a vehicle shares malicious or false data with other vehicles, it is easy to mislead drivers and even cause serious traffic accidents. This paper proposes an effective data sharing scheme based on blockchain in VSNs. By integrating an identity based signature mechanism and pseudonym generation mechanism, we first propose an anonymous authentication mechanism as the basis for establishing trust relationships before data transmission between entities in VSNs. Then, a data sharing scheme based on blockchain is described, in which the signature mechanism and the consensus mechanism guarantee the security and traceability of data. The result of the performance analysis and the simulation experiment indicate that VAB can achieve a favourable performance compared with existing schemes.
