Abstract

Nowadays, Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANETs) have become a develo** technology that is mainly used for transmission of secret messages between Vehicles to provide information related to road traffic, climate, and road conditions. Secure message transmission in VANETs is essential to provide a comfortable and safe driving environment for vehicle users. To enhance security of message transmission and traffic efficiency, efficient and intelligent management of large number of vehicles in VANETs has become a problem. To ensure secure message transmission, the authentication of vehicles must be carefully considered when deploying VANETs. An efficient and robust authentication protocol for VANETs is presented in this paper. The proposed protocol has significantly minimized the computation cost. Theoretical and experimental analysis shows that our protocol performs better comparing with other existing protocols. The proposed technique also provides protection against various cryptographic attacks.
