An Investigative Study on Security Aspects and Authentication Schemes for Internet of Vehicles

Over the past few decades, empirical studies and specialists in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have proclaimed a pervasive interest in the revolutionary developments of technology about the Internet of Vehicles (IoVs). IoV strives at accomplishing a compelling intuitive vehicle system, adept at rendering a multitude of competent services in addition to supporting multiple applications for road users. In IoV, autonomous vehicles can instantly connect with other nearby vehicles. In this paper, an initiative has been made to study a variety of security threats relevant to the IoV ecosystem and the ways to mitigate them. Further, an in-depth analysis of the most recent IoV authentication schemes has been illustrated concerning tools and techniques used, strengths, limitations, and objectives. Moreover, an overview highlighting the challenges and future trends in IoV has also been included. The researcher’s conclusions offer a standard response for the IoV for intelligent transport's security and authentication issues.
