Social Aspect of Vehicular Communications

Social Aspect of Vehicular Communications

The interconnection of devices is expected to grow and to incorporate systems that used to be isolated. As the vehicle evolves from a simple transport machine to an intelligent entity that collects information from the environment and uses it in order to take decisions in real time, it is becoming an active member of a smart city. The integration of vehicular communications with smartphones hel...

Communications in Vehicular Networks

Recent advances in wireless networks have led to the introduction of a new type of networks called Vehicular Networks. Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a form of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). VANETs provide us with the infrastructure for developing new systems to enhance drivers’ and passengers’ safety and comfort. VANETs are distributed self organizing networks formed between moving vehic...

Security Architecture for Vehicular Communications

Despite recent progress for vehicular communication in research, development, field tests, and standardization, security is still in an early phase though it represents a crucial part of the vehicular communication system. So far, no vehicular security architecture has been proposed which integrates existing individual solutions for vehicle registration, data integrity, authentication, and so o...

Secure and privacy-preserving, timed vehicular communications

We consider the problem of privacy (anonymity) and security in vehicular (V2V) communication, in particular securing routine safety messages. Traditional public key mechanisms are not appropriate for such applications because of the large number of safety messages that have to be transmitted by each vehicle, typically one message every 100−300ms. We first show that a recently proposed V2V commu...
