A Secure Framework for Cloud Based Intelligent Transportation System(C-ITS)

Abstract

Intelligent Transportation System(ITS)currently plays a critical role in transportation network providing the efficiency in traffic management, reducing accidents resulting in timesaving and increased customer satisfaction. The main challenges of ITS, however, are to manage the authenticity, confidentiality and preserving the privacy of the customers. The vision of all vehicle to be connected brings the new challenge of maintenance of massive vehicular data produced. With the advancement of cloud technology one cloud consider it as a decent candidate. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for cloud-based intelligent transportation system (C-ITS). The main idea is to have multiple ITS service provider in a single city so that a customer has a choice to register multiple ITSs for different services. The ITS can exploit cloud resources to provide high-end services to its user. Our proposed model could use different cryptosystem to meet the necessary security requirements. We introduce a security solution to meet the fundamental safety requirements for proposed model using Identity-Based cryptosystem, and proxy re-encryption.
