Global Roaming Trust-based Model for V2X Communications
share
Smart cities need to connect physical devices as a network to improve the efficiency of city operations and services. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is one of the key components in smart cities, due to its capability of supporting communications between vehicles to improve the driving experience. Whilst Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications are essential, cyber-security poses a significant challenge in V2X communications. A V2X communication link is vulnerable to various cyber-attacks including internal and external attacks. Internal attacks cannot be detected by conventional security schemes because the compromised nodes have valid credentials. Thus, a new trust model is urgently needed to mitigate cyber-security risks. In this paper, a global roaming trust-based security model is proposed for V2X communications. Each vehicle has a global knowledge about malicious nodes in the network. In addition, various experiments are conducted with different percentage of malicious nodes to measure the performance of the proposed model. Simulation results show that the proposed model improves False Negative Rate (FNR) by 33.5
