Abstract

It is well established now within the vehicular Communication (VC) community the fact that security and protection of privacy are a prerequisite for the deployment of the technology. It is also understood that without the integration of strong and practical security and privacy enhancing mechanisms, VC systems could be disrupted or disabled, even by relatively unsophisticated attackers. The paper introduces the widely accepted solution known as the "pseudonymous authentication" approach and discusses the limitations of some of the schemes proposed. The paper introduces a new proposal that helps to solve some of these limitations.
