A Vehicular Cloud for Secure and QoS Aware Service Provision

摘要

The Vehicular Cloud (V-Cloud) is a new technology that will have impact on traffic management and road safety. It enables the release of various reliable and low cost services, including on board advertisement, multimedia, and traffic management. This paper presents a secure and QoS aware three-layer Vehicular Cloud architecture enabling a tree-based connection of vehicles to the network. We propose a certificate based authentication and privacy preservation protocol for secure vehicular communication. The proposed protocol allows generating and using public key certificate with zone based temporal vehicles identities to prevent Sybil and Tracking attacks.
