Abstract

Privacy disclosure has become a key challenge in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Although IEEE, ERSI, etc. suggest that a pseudonym-based scheme is a solution, how to support pseudonym management and vehicle authentication is still an open issue. In this paper, a secure VANETs authentication scheme (PAS) is proposed, where software-defined network (SDN) is integrated as a suitable infrastructure to support anonymous authentication and pseudonym management, while removing the requirement for pseudonym certification in the dynamic VANETs environment. The security and performance analysis indicate that PAS is able protect the privacy of vehicles and has a high efficiency.
