ANAA-Fog: A Novel Anonymous Authentication Scheme for 5G-Enabled Vehicular Fog Computing

Vehicular fog computing enabled by the Fifth Generation (5G) has been on rise recently, providing real-time services among automobiles in field of smart transportation improving road traffic safety and enhancing driver comfort. Due to public nature wireless communication channels, which communications are conveyed plain text, protecting privacy security 5G-enabled vehicular is utmost importance. Several existing works have proposed an anonymous authentication technique address this issue. However, these techniques massive performance efficiency issues with authenticating validating exchanged messages. To face problem, we propose a novel scheme named ANAA-Fog for computing. Each participating vehicle’s temporary secret key verifying digital signatures generated server under scheme. The signing step analyzed proven secure use ProfVerif simulator. This research also satisfies criteria, such as conditional preservation, unlinkability, traceability, revocability, resistance threats, well others (e.g., modify attacks, forgery replay man-in-the-middle attacks). Finally, result terms cost single signature verification 108 bytes 2.0185 ms, respectively. Hence, assessment metrics section demonstrates that our work incurs little more when compared similar studies.
