Vehicular Cloud Computing Security: A Survey

摘要

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have recently gained a lot of interest. This is due to their capacity to improve drivingsafety and traffic management. VANET is designed to provide emerging applications and services to drivers in vehicularenvironments. On the one hand, the rapid advancement of automobile industry enables the development of vehicles withvarious forms of onboard computation facilities, storage, communication and sensing resources. On the other hand, theapplication of cloud computing (CC) affects several domains, including the transportation domain, therefore the emergenceof vehicular cloud computing (VCC). VCC is an efficient technology to move VANET toward autonomous driving, vehiclecontrol, and intelligent systems. Security and privacy issues are among the major concerns that should be addressed in thecontext of VCC. However, the special characteristics of VCC have made the security used in classical VANET and CC to berevised. To the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of security surveys for VCC. This paper is an attempt to discuss thechallenges faced by security for VCC and future guide to handling these challenges.
