Application of Latest Authentication Technologies in Vehicular Cloud

Abstract

Vehicular Network technology has emerged over last few years under Intelligent Transportation system. Due to the growth of the massive amount of information exchanged in VANET, Vehicular cloud is a new paradigm in which all data are stored in cloud servers. Security is an important issue in vehicular cloud. Many researchers had proposed many schemes to resolve the issues related to authentication, confidentiality, Non-repudiation, availability, reliability and other performance parameters. Still we are facing many challenges in authentication mechanisms of Vehicular cloud. This paper will investigate many different challenges in authentication schemes on VANET, cloud computing and current trends. This paper focuses on study of Challenges on mutual authentication schemes in VANET, cloud environment and Vehicular cloud. Finally, this paper will also discuss the current authentication technologies so that it will make the researchers to progress towards the successful deployment of these technologies in Vehicular cloud so that it will be useful to resolve any security issues and implement a novel and an efficient authentication protocol in vehicular cloud in future.
