Abstract

With the maturity of mobile communication and Internet of Things, the extensive deployment of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) and the popularity of related applications have gradually become the research hotspot. Vehicles can access VANETs to obtain better travel choices, more third-party services, and share social and traffic information with other vehicles. Significantly, security and privacy protection is a major issue in VANETs. As the first line of defense against the attacks, anonymous authentication is a necessary approach to preserve user privacy. Whereas, the existing anonymous authentication schemes cannot maintain a balance between security and efficiency. In this paper, we propose an anonymous authentication scheme based on self-generated pseudonym in VANETs. The proposed scheme avoids the overhead of certificate management through the self-generation of pseudonym and provides conditional privacy protection. The security and performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme effectively guarantees the security and anonymity of vehicles and owns high efficiency.
