Tamper-Resilient and Sensor-Spoofing-Resistant Authentication for 5G-Connected Vehicular Edge Systems Sarah Al-Hilfi, Mohammed Yousif, Huda Mohammed Alsayednoor, Mahmood A. Al-Shareeda, Mohammed Almaayah, et al. Engineering Technology and Applied Science Research, 2025 From the perspective of vehicular fog computing enabled by 5G, fast and secure authentication between Onboard Units (OBUs) and Fog Servers (FSs) is crucial. Threats such as combined physical tampering and sensor spoofing, along with emergency message forgery, can be devastating in practice, causing traffic accidents, privacy breaches, or service interruptions. This paper presents a six-phase, tamper-resilient authentication protocol tailored for 5G vehicular networks. It integrates entropy-based sensor verification and real-time tamper detection into a unified trust mechanism, alongside emergency-aware session handling. To ensure post-quantum resilience, forward secrecy, and lightweight performance, we employ Chebyshev polynomial cryptography and hash chains. The proposed scheme reduces computational time by 32% and communication overhead by 27% compared to existing protocols, demonstrating its effectiveness and robustness for real-time vehicular edge environments.
