Description

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) aims to transform the driving experience to the next level by ensuring communication with other vehicles, pedestrians handheld devices, Road Side Units (RSU), and other sensors used in the smart city environment. It integrates the benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Vehicular Adhoc NETwork (VANET) to offer a safe and comfortable driving environment. Since communication is established through insecure channels, IoV is prone to various security attacks. Hence, there is a need for an authentication mechanism to ensure secure communications. For VANET, various authentication techniques are available, but they are not suitable for IoV due to their high computation overhead. Hence, we suggest a novel secure authentication scheme for IoV, which ensures authentication, conditional privacy preservation, message integrity, traceability, and unlinkability. It also provides security against various attacks. The proposed scheme performs better with less computation, communication, and storage overhead.
