A suitable key agreement protocol for autonomous vehicle and digital twin using ECC Fauzia Hassan, Vinod Kumar, Anil Kumar Nishad, Mukesh Kumar Sharma, Pranav Dass Journal of Discrete Mathematical Sciences and Cryptography, 2025 Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are transforming transportation, and their development and operation depend more and more on digital twins (DTs). DTs are virtual representations of AVs that can be used to replicate and test their behavior in various settings. Nowadays, protecting privacy and safety is a major concern because the integration of these technologies has resulted in both happy and catastrophic situations. We suggest an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC)-based key agreement method for AVs and DTs in this paper. We’ll look at the key security improvements made so far, explore a number of attack methods, and assess the computational and communication costs inside the proposed framework. In addition, security analysis is used to ensure secure and efficient communication. Lastly, our findings indicate that the suggested protocol satisfies every security need compared to existing protocols.
RSFVC: Robust Biometric-Based Secure Framework for Vehicular Cloud Networking Vinod Kumar IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2024 Vehicular cloud networking (VCN) is a new study area that combines vehicular cloud computing (VCC) and information-centric networking. By utilizing VCC technologies, it is effectively use in road security and traffic control. The benefits of VCC in VCN are superior, including faster turnover times, scalability, flexibility, cost savings, greater collaborations, advanced security, the prevention of data loss, data security, minimal maintenance, limitless storage capacity, traffic information aggregation, etc. VCN is an intelligent networking system that manages autonomous traffic, system security, privacy, and vehicle control capabilities. During communication, various adversary types have the potential to compromise the security and privacy of these networks. To preserve their security, privacy, confidentiality, and integrity, such systems require an authentication framework. The paper presents an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and biometrics-based secure authenticated framework for VCN. The suggested protocol accomplishes all security, privacy, and other criteria for secure communications against active and passive attackers. It is also demonstrated, both formally and informally, that the proposed framework is secure, correct and efficient. The study further establishes, using the simulation tool AVISPA, that the proposed protocol is secure against man-in-the-middle and replay attacks. Additionally, the study uses BAN logic to demonstrate how the mutual authentication property is proven. In VCN, the proposed protocol efficacy is evaluated and compared to other similar protocols within the study. The results show that the proposed framework is secure and efficient in terms of computation and communication overheads. Consequently, the proposed protocol will be advantageous for VCN.
