A lightweight and secure online/offline cross-domain authentication scheme for VANET systems in Industrial IoT

Abstract

In heterogeneous wireless networks, the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is an essential contributor to increasing productivity and effectiveness. However, in various domains, such as industrial wireless scenarios, small cell domains, and vehicular ad hoc networks, an efficient and stable authentication algorithm is required (VANET). Specifically, IoT vehicles deal with vast amounts of data transmitted between VANET entities in different domains in such a large-scale environment. Also, crossing from one territory to another may have the connectivity services down for a while, leading to service interruption because it is pervasive in remote areas and places with multipath obstructions. Hence, it is vulnerable to specific attacks (e.g., replay attacks, modification attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and insider attacks), making the system inefficient. Also, high processing data increases the computation and communication cost, leading to an increased workload in the system. Thus, to solve the above issues, we propose an online/offline lightweight authentication scheme for the VANET cross-domain system in IIoT to improve the security and efficiency of the VANET. The proposed scheme utilizes an efficient AES-RSA algorithm to achieve integrity and confidentiality of the message. The offline joining is added to avoid remote network intrusions and the risk of network service interruptions. The proposed work includes two different significant goals to achieve first, then secure message on which the data is transmitted and efficiency in a cryptographic manner. The Burrows Abdi Needham (BAN logic) logic is used to prove that this scheme is mutually authenticated. The system’s security has been tested using the well-known AVISPA tool to evaluate and verify its security formally. The results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the ID-CPPA, AAAS, and HCDA schemes by 53%, 55%, and 47% respectively in terms of computation cost, and 65%, 83%, and 40% respectively in terms of communication cost.

A Lightweight Authentication MAC Protocol for CR-WSNs

“…The AVISPA simulation tool stands for the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications. This tool is usually used to simulate the security of the authentication protocols and verify them [ 30 , 31 , 32 ]. High-Level Protocol Specification Language (HLPSL) is a powerful language used by the AVISPA tool, thus allowing us to verify the protocol security features [ 33 ].…”

Efficient Detection and Mitigation of Rushing Attacks in VANETs Using RAID: A Novel Intrusion Detection System

“…There is a possibility that an attacker will disguise himself as a validated vehicle and bypass the authentication scheme to get into the network; in such a scenario, intruders must be unable to read, insert, or modify the data (Di and Wu, 2022;Xu et al, 2019;Al-Shareeda and Manickam, 2022;Mei et al, 2022). To do so, all vehicles must encrypt the information before transmitting it so that only vehicles with the decryption key can access it, leaving the intruder roaming the network empty-handed (Ahmed et al, 2022;Khalid et al, 2021). An intruder in the network can pose a threat at any time; therefore, there should be a mechanism in place to detect the intruder and prevent him or her from roaming freely in the network (Azam et al, 2021;Jalali et al, 2017).…”
