Secure V2V Communication With Certificate Revocations

Abstract

Secure communication of time critical information in V2V networks is expected to be achieved via a robust infrastructure that provides security related services at all times. This paper explores the dependence of performance of secure V2V communications on the mechanisms used by the security infrastructure. We propose and analyze a performance metric termed the confidence on security infrastructure (CoS) that can assist in accepting/dropping a message at each node in V2V communications.
