Secure and Efficient High Throughput Medium Access Control for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network

The evolution of the internet has led to the growth of smart application requirements on the go in the vehicular ad hoc network ([Formula: see text]). [Formula: see text] enables vehicles to communicate smartly among themselves wirelessly. Increasing usage of wireless technology induces many security vulnerabilities. Therefore, effective security and authentication mechanism is needed to prevent an intruder. However, authentication may breach user privacy such as location or identity. Cryptography-based approach aids in preserving the privacy of the user. However, the existing security models incur communication and key management overhead since they are designed considering a third-party server. To overcome the research issue, this work presents an efficient security model namely secure performance enriched channel allocation ([Formula: see text]) by using commutative [Formula: see text]. This work further presents the commutative property of the proposed security scheme. Experiments conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed [Formula: see text] over state-of-the-art models show significant improvement. The outcome shows that [Formula: see text] minimizes collision and maximizes system throughput considering different radio propagation environments.
