Vehicle to Vehicle Authentication
This tackles the problem of ensuring secure and safe communication for autonomous and connected vehicles, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing standards like IEEE 1609 and 802.11p without introducing a fundamentally new approach.
The paper addresses the security vulnerabilities in vehicle-to-vehicle wireless communication, which can cause serious safety hazards, and proposes incorporating an authentic factor into warning messages to enable timely verification and acceptance by recipients.
In recent future, vehicles will establish a spontaneous connection over a wireless radio channel, coordinating actions and information. Vehicles will exchange warning messages over the wireless radio channel through Dedicated Short Range Communication (IEEE 1609) over the Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (802.11p). Unfortunately, the wireless communication among vehicles is vulnerable to security threats that may lead to very serious safety hazards. Therefore, the warning messages being exchanged must incorporate an authentic factor such that recipient is willing to verify and accept the message in a timely manner
