Abstract
Ad hoc communications will almost certainly be a major part of future intelligent transportation systems. In particular, vehicle-to-vehicle (v2v) and vehicle-to-roadside (v2r) communications will enable new applications such as advanced active safety, user information, road condition warning, and many more. Even though current projects include security of those systems, there is no holistic approach to security yet and only partial solutions are presented which are hard to fit into the whole context of security for vehicular ad hoc networks.
This paper has three major contributions. First, we provide a novel concept (VaneSe) to develop trusted communications for vehicular networks and argue for the need of each module. This concept consists of six modules; these are Identification and Secure Addressing, Privacy, Access Control and Enforcement, Intrusion Detection and Containment, and Protected Communications. Then, we review each of the modules relevant for VaneSe and introduce the basic concepts for each module. Finally, we discuss the relevance and implications of each module in VANET environments and identify future work.
