“…In order to avoid collisions between ships, the location is determined by GPS. It also supports the ship in its daily maneuvers (retreating to a port) and in the navigation process [12]. Vulnerabilities that target an AIS system include data security and authentication.…”

IoT is expanding into all aspects of our lives, one of the domains that weren't explored to their full potential in the past is traffic management, but this is changing fast due to new technologies being rolled out. Improvements in traffic flow with IoT and the new 5G networks are a relatively new domain and focus of this article. 5G opened a new range of possibilities in traffic management with multiple interconnected nodes that can exchange data continuously over any movement speed. Besides speed, 5G provides better link stability and security, vital for traffic management. An improved version of IoT is the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) [1] which is considered an integrated part of smart cities and is composed of several components that communicate through a wireless communications infrastructure to always have signal coverage. A new alternative to enable such wireless connections is the 5G cellular network. Moreover, our article highlights the innovative SOLID-B5G project along with the latest developments in the IoT -5G field. The SOLID-B5G project focuses on solving network security issues and adopting flexible, high bandwidth, and low-cost networks, facilitating the interconnection of as many IoT sensors and the simultaneous data collection, storage, and processing processes.

The Inter-VTS Data Exchange Format (IVEF) service is the draft standard designed for exchange of information on sea traffic between the vessel traffic systems and between the vessels. Standardization of this service is under way as a part of the next-generation navigation system, called e-Navigation. The International Association of Lighthouse Authorities suggests, on its recommendation V-145, the IVEF service model and the protocol for provisioning of this service. But the detailed configuration of this service must be designed by the users. IVEF service is aimed at establishing a common framework to ensure exchange of ship information between vessel traffic service (VTS) centers gained via automatic ship identification device, closed-circuit television, radar system and other devices. Robust exchange of marine traffic information between VTS centers through IVEF service will enable related authorities to identify location of domestic and international ships in the coastal waters real-time and predict expected sea route, thus ensure effective sea route control and pre-emptive response to potential disasters or accidents. This paper suggests, based on the basic service model and protocol provided in the recommendation V-145, the implementation of the Jeju-VTS middleware, which will facilitate exchange of information on sea traffic. This paper developed a system enabling IVEF service simulation under an Internet of Things environment made possible by improving IVEF software development kit, which is an open source. For this, a mobile phone loaded with Android platform and desk top PC has been used for emulation of a ship on voyage and VTS center.

“…An AIS system's GPS feature also helps the vessel with day-to-day navigation and specific procedures like entering a port. Nevertheless, because an AIS system is not encryption-protected in terms of data security [5] and identity authentication [6], it may fall prey to message modification attacks such as a launch of false distress signals or collision warnings. Moreover, a malicious party may initiate a denial-of-service attack to meltdown AIS communication while it carries out illegal activities.…”

The sustainable utilization of marine resources is a vital issue to enrich marine life and to prevent species extinction caused by overfishing. Nowadays, it is common that commercial and smaller vessels are equipped with an Automatic Identification System (AIS) and GPS for better vessel tracking to avoid vessel collision as well as mayday calls. Additionally, governments can monitor vessels’ sea activities through AIS messages, stopping them from overfishing or tracking if any vessel has caused marine pollution. However, because AIS devices cannot guarantee data security, they are susceptible to malicious attacks such as message modification or an illegitimate identity faking a distress signal that causes other vessels to change their course. Given the above, a comprehensive network security system of a sustainable marine environment should be proposed to ensure secure communication. In this paper, a stationary IoT-enabled (Internet of Things) vessel tracking system of a sustainable marine environment is proposed. The system combines network security, edge computing, and tracking management. It offers the following functions: (1) The IoT-based vessel tracking system tracks each aquafarmer’s farming zone and issues periodic warning to prevent vessel collision for pursuing a sustainable marine environment; (2) the system can serve as a relay station that evaluates whether a vessel’s AIS data is correct; (3) the system detects abnormal behavior and any irregular information to law enforcement; (4) the system’s network security mechanism adopts a group key approach to ensure secure communication between vessels; and (5) the proposed edge computing mechanism enables the tracking system to perform message authentication and analysis, and to reduce computational burden for the remote or cloud server. Experiment results indicate that our proposed system is feasible, secure, and sustainable for the marine environment, and the tendered network security mechanism can reduce the computational burden while still ensuring security.
