Abstract

Vehicle Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is an emerging wireless network technology, especially the application of traditional mobile ad hoc networks on traffic roads. The safety and efficiency of its deployment on the road have attracted widespread attention from the social industry. How to improve the traffic system and reduce the number of traffic accidents is also a hot topic in academic research. At the same time, VANET is also known as a safe communication platform for disseminating road information. However, in the V ANET open access network environment, the protection of vehicle privacy and the secure transmission of messages are the most critical and challenging issues. In this article, we detail the background of VANET, the security requirements for operation and possible attacks. Combined with the multi-faceted research of different scholars, we listed different anonymous authentication methods and high-security encryption technologies, and compared them by classification. Such as the advantages and limitations of different schemes, performance, communication overhead, etc. Finally, we describe some possible research directions in this network.
