Abstract
As the technology of mobile communication and Internet of Things by leaps and bounds, Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), a new type of intelligent transport system, have drawn a lot of interest from industry and academia. It is expected that vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication will provide users with ultra-reliable and available transmission, especially in the case of safety-critical and autonomous applications. However, due to the open nature of the wireless communication environment, traffic-related messages in VANETs are vulnerable to interception and tampering by attackers, compromising the safety of drivers and traffic. Consequently, ensuring the conditional anonymity of vehicle users is crucial for protecting the privacy of users and enabling secure communication. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving authentication scheme for VANETs. Efficient anonymous authentication and flexible pseudonym change are achieved by combining the ECC-based certificateless signature mechanism with the Shamir secret sharing mechanism. Upon analysis of security and performance, the proposed scheme appears to provide security and anonymity for vehicles and has a high level of efficiency.
