Dynamic and efficient vehicular cloud management scheme with privacy protection by Min XIAO, Tao YAO, Yuanni LIU, Yonghong HUANG

“…The vehicular cloud (VC) formed by vehicles is used for localization processing and consumption of traffic sensing data to achieve timely intelligent traffic management.The vehicle cloud is highly dynamic, self-organizing and timely, in which the identity and location privacy of vehicle users need to be protected as this poses challenges to the vehicular cloud management.A dynamic and self-organizing vehicle cloud management scheme based on the asymmetric group key agreement protocol was designed, where the vehicle cloud is automatically formed through the self-organized group key agreement of vehicles.The group key was used to control the provision and access of vehicle cloud services, and the dynamic management of the vehicle cloud was implemented through group key update.The scheme used traceable one-time pseudonym technology to achieve anonymous authentication and conditional privacy protection of vehicle users, and the group key agreement stage only included one bilinear pair operation to achieve high efficiency.In addition, the key negotiation and update process used lightweight signatures, supporting batch verification, to achieve efficient message source authentication and integrity authentication.Then the security and efficiency of vehicle cloud communications in the self-organizing environment can be ensured.The dynamic key update mechanism of the key agreement protocol realized the dynamic joining or exiting of vehicles in the vehicle cloud, adapting to the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle cloud.Under the random oracle model and the difficult assumption of the inverse computational Diffie Hellman (ICDH) problem, it was proved that the asymmetric group key agreement scheme satisfied the selective-plaintext security.The security analysis shows that the scheme can protect the identity and location privacy of vehicle users, realize the legal tracking of malicious vehicles, and ensure the confidentiality, integrity and anti-counterfeiting of communications, as well as the forward security of vehicle cloud dynamic management.The performance comparison analysis shows that this scheme has certain advantages in communication and computing efficiency under the condition of the same function and security level.…”
