Secure vehicle pseudonym certificate for smart car in internet of vehicles

Abstract

As the vehicle communication technology developed in Korea is implemented as a real service, interest in smart cars is increasing. With this, concerns over safety of vehicles are also rising and vehicle communication is based on authentication. Therefore, there may be risks when the authentication is stolen. If the vehicle's ID is known through a stolen authentication while the car is moving at a high speed and the control over the vehicle is hijacked, this can lead to a fatal accident for the driver. This paper suggests a method that generates the authentication through a pseudonym ID to prevent such cases. © 2017 SERSC.
