Abstract:

Existing conditional privacy-preserving communication protocols based on a tamper-proof device (TPD) in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) face the challenges of master key compromise and vehicle revocation. To address these challenges, we propose a new identity-based anonymous authentication scheme. In this scheme, the master key of the system will not be directly installed in the TPD; hence, it is impossible for an adversary to obtain the system master key from the TPD. To generate the private key of the vehicle, an additional secret is required, and this secret is provided by the roadside unit (RSU). Therefore, revoking a malicious vehicle from the VANETs is efficient, since the RSU only needs to stop generating the up-to-date secret for the vehicle. In addition, the signature verification algorithm of the scheme involves no bilinear pairing operations, making the verification process more efficient. The security of the scheme is proved to be equivalent to the elliptic curve discrete logarithm assumption in the random oracle. The experimental results show that the authentication of the scheme is more efficient, and the communication cost has been diminished.
