Abstract
In Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications, such as traffic monitoring and road safety, privacy-preservation is one of the most important issues. The vehicles in the system can communicate by transmitting messages to another vehicle or servers. In order to detect and discard messages from attackers, the receivers need to authenticate the message that normally requires the identity of the sender. This leads to the privacy violation of the sender because the user’s identity is sent in clear text in the transmitted messages, and thus it can be linked to the vehicle’s sensitive information. To overcome this issue, pseudonyms are provided to vehicles and servers and then the receivers request a trusted authority (TA) to authenticate the sender with its pseudonym. However, it faces the congestion challenge since the number of exchanged messages in a real ITS is extremely large. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art solutions to the privacy preserving in authentication and then propose an authentication scheme to preserve senders’ privacy in ITS. In this scheme, the vehicles and servers need to contact TA only one time to get secret information and then, based on their secret information, they can generate pseudonyms for the authentication at the receiver side. Some scenarios are also provided for the security analysis of the schemes.
