Abstract

Content centric networking is one of the emerging paradigm for inter-vehicle communication that focuses on the contents being shared within the network. In this paper, we have proposed a content-centric vehicular network (CCVN) for faster access of contents. We have also proposed a hybrid encryption scheme that uses Advanced encryption standard (AES-128) and digital signature to secure the content of CCVN during inter-vehicle communication. In the results, the proposed encryption scheme minimises the computational cost for encryption and digital signature verification, and handles various security attacks like integrity, replay, and key-guessing efficiently. We have also performed the performance evaluation of CCVN with other techniques. Here, the obtained results represents that the proposed CCVN architecture reduces the overall time-delay in the network.
