Abstract

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are high-speed mobile wireless communication networks that play a pivotal role in shaping the future of intelligent transportation systems. In many fields, certificateless aggregate signcryption (CLASC) serves as a reliable method that reduces computational and communication overheads while enhancing security. Due to these advantages, in recent years, an increasing number of signcryption schemes have been presented in VANETs. In this paper, a security analysis of Dai et al.'s pairing-free CLASC scheme for vehicular sensor networks is conducted. The analysis results reveal its vulnerability to public key replacement attacks. To address this security flaw, a security-enhanced certificateless aggregate signcryption scheme is proposed and demonstrated its confidentiality and unforgeability against adaptive chosen ciphertext/message attack in the random oracle model. Additionally, the proposed scheme is demonstrated to satisfy the security attributes in VANETs. Eventually, the performance analysis reveal that the proposed CLASC scheme demonstrates superior computational and communication efficiency compared to the related schemes.

期刊介绍： Vehicular communications is a growing area of communications between vehicles and including roadside communication infrastructure. Advances in wireless communications are making possible sharing of information through real time communications between vehicles and infrastructure. This has led to applications to increase safety of vehicles and communication between passengers and the Internet. Standardization efforts on vehicular communication are also underway to make vehicular transportation safer, greener and easier. The aim of the journal is to publish high quality peer–reviewed papers in the area of vehicular communications. The scope encompasses all types of communications involving vehicles, including vehicle–to–vehicle and vehicle–to–infrastructure. The scope includes (but not limited to) the following topics related to vehicular communications: Vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communications Channel modelling, modulating and coding Congestion Control and scalability issues Protocol design, testing and verification Routing in vehicular networks Security issues and countermeasures Deployment and field testing Reducing energy consumption and enhancing safety of vehicles Wireless in–car networks Data collection and dissemination methods Mobility and handover issues Safety and driver assistance applications UAV Underwater communications Autonomous cooperative driving Social networks Internet of vehicles Standardization of protocols.
