An identity-based security framework For VANETs

We present a security framework for Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), using identity-based cryptography, to provide authentication, confidentiality, non-repudiation and message integrity. Additionally it provides scalable security and privacy using short-lived, authenticated and unforgeable, pseudonyms. This feature can be used by VANET applications that require quantifiable trust and privacy to provide differentiated service based on various levels of trust and privacy thresholds.
