Abstract

The rapid advancements in computer systems and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) motivate many intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) applications in smart cities, such as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). The WSN supports data exchange between mobile vehicles and servers to provide effective traffic control and smooth service for VANET users. However, the vehicle environment still faces many challenges. One of the VANET concerns is the privacy and security of data flows from heterogeneous systems. Therefore, we suggest a Provably Online/Offline Signcryption (POOSC) protocol for vehicular communication in VANET to preserve data confidentiality and ciphertext unforgeability. In this architecture, the transmitter registered in the Identity-Based Cryptosystems (IBC) environment can safely and efficiently communicate with the receiver in the Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) environment despite the limitations and challenges of heterogeneous systems. In a Random Oracle Model (ROM), we show that our protocol is safe against Indistinguishability-Adaptive Chosen-Ciphertext Attacks (IND-CCA2) under the Computational Diffie–Hellman (CDH) assumption and Existential Unforgeability-Adaptive Chosen Message Attacks (EUF-CMA) under the Discret-Logarithm (DL) assumption. Moreover, the POOSC protocol overcomes the certificate authority burden. Besides, we designed the POOSC protocol with a free pairing that achieves low computation cost and better scalability for VANET environments. The POOSC effectively meets non-repudiation, integrity, and authentication in a logically single step.
