Poster: Continuous Authentication in Highly Connected 6G-enabled Transportation Systems

Vehicular networks play a crucial role in the collective Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) security and safety. With the ongoing development of 6G, high connectivity density is expected with heterogeneity. This presents new challenges for providing reliable authentication methods in vehicular networks, including scalability, interoperability, security, and privacy. Several solutions have been proposed to address these challenges, such as blockchain-based privacy-preserving authentication models, decentralized authentication architectures, and certificateless and lightweight authentication schemes. This poster presents an overview of the current challenges facing authentication mechanisms in dense 6G-enabled ITS, proposed solutions, and open research challenges.
