T8: Recent Development in Vehicular Communication Network Security

Organizer: Yi Qian, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA

Abstract: Vehicular communication networks have been considered as a promising solution to achieve better traffic management and to improve the driving experience of drivers. However, vehicular networks are susceptible to various security attacks. Due to the wireless nature of vehicular communications, how to secure vehicular networks are great challenges that have hampered the implementation of vehicular network services. Many solutions have been proposed by researchers and industry in recent years. In this tutorial, we present a comprehensive overview on the state-of-the-art solutions concerning vehicular communication network security and privacy. For security, detailed discussions on cryptography-based schemes and trust based schemes are provided. For privacy, we summarize and compare general solutions in preserving identity privacy and location privacy. Cellular based vehicular communications have shown many advantages over DSRC, and the oncoming fifth generation cellular technology is going to provide more possibilities to communications. Thus, security architectures and solutions for cellular based communications are also illustrated and discussed. Finally, we summarize the remaining challenges and point out future research directions in this tutorial.
