On-siteDriverID: A secure authentication scheme based on Spanish eID cards for vehicular ad hoc networks

Abstract

Security in Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) has been a topic of interest since the origins of vehicular communications. Different approaches have been followed as new security threats have emerged in the last few years. The approach of conditional privacy has been widely used as it guarantees authentication among vehicles but not revealing their real identities. Although the real identity of the vehicle can be traced by the authorities, the process to do that is time consuming and typically involves several entities (for instance road authorities that request the identification, license plate records bodies, a judge to allow revealing the identity associated to a license plate…).Moreover, this process is always subsequent to the detection of a road situation that requires knowing the real vehicle identities. However, in vehicular scenarios, authorities would beneficiate from knowing the real drivers' identity in advance. We propose in this paper On-SiteDriverID, a secure protocol and its application which allows authorities' vehicles to obtain drivers' real identities rapidly and on demand on VANET scenarios. Thus, authorities would be able to gather information about drivers and vehicles, allowing them to act in a safer and better manner in situations such as traffic control duties or emergencies. The obtained simulation results in real VANET scenarios based on real maps guarantee that in the 60-70% of cases the proposed On-SiteDriverID successfully obtains the identity of the drivers.

A More Efficient Conditional Private Preservation Scheme in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

“…There have been many research works about anonymity authentication of VANETs in the last past years. In all existing works, pseudonym-based authentication schemes are the major approaches [6,7,11,12]. These pseudonym-based approaches can perfectly achieve privacy preservation, but the main limitation is that the TA is needed to keep the pseudonyms of each vehicle in storage space and required to change them in a frequent manner.…”

A Framework for Routing Misbehavior Recognition in MANETS

“…These schemes can be broadly classified [7][8][9][10][11][12] into two types.  Reputation-based schemes  Credit-based schemes.…”

A Cloud-Based Crime Reporting System with Identity Protection

“…The proposed scheme uses a network online reporting mechanism to improve reporting and reduce policing costs [2], combined with digital certificates for authentication [8][9][10] to ensure that reports cannot be made anonymously. The proposed system is thus able to use an impartial third-party organization to confirm an informer's identity, and protect the informer's privacy and security.…”
