摘要

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are an innovative technology designed to advance intelligent transportation systems, providing smarter, more efficient, and user-friendly transportation solutions. The internet of vehicles (IoV) establishes a smart platform enabling vehicles and infrastructure to share critical information, aiding in road condition prediction and minimizing traffic accidents. However, IoV systems also face significant security challenges and vulnerabilities. Authentication key agreement (AKA) protocols are vital for secure IoV communication. However, existing V2V AKA protocols face limitations, such as inefficiency in multi-user scenarios, high storage demands, and computational complexity. Additionally, the vast real-time data from vehicles and IoT devices strains servers and increases latency. To tackle these security issues, this research proposes a cloud-assisted, secure, and lightweight blockchain-based authentication framework for 6g-IoV network. The security of the suggested framework is validated through both informal analysis and formal verification using the Scyther Tool, demonstrating its effectiveness in providing a secure and efficient data sharing authentication protocol for VANETs. The simulations using the MIRACL library indicate that it offers superior performance with lower computational and communication overheads and reduced authentication delays compared to existing methods.
