Abstract

Vehicular ad hoc networks are a promising approach for increased safety of driving. Hence, there is a high interest to enable their mass roll out in upcoming years. Thereby, intended safety critical use cases require a rigid security system. The provided analysis of standardized security mechanisms identifies three main weaknesses. Firstly, end-to-end encrypted multi-hop communication is not supported. This affects the whole communication system, as it limits the capability for required distribution of pseudonym certificates indirectly hindering single-hop communication, too. Secondly, pseudonym certificate management requires a dedicated start up strategy after node start up. Thirdly, basic data sets of time and position are acquired from sources lacking security mechanisms and are used in a partly inconsistent way. Enhancements to overcome the identified issues are proposed and discussed.
