Asymmetric Encryption For The Autonomous Vehicle

Abstract

The future of the vehicle is of cars, roads and infrastructures con-nected in a two way automated communication in an holistic system. It is a mandatory to use Encryption to maintain Confidentiality, Integrity and Availa-bility in an ad hoc vehicle network. Topology of the network produces its structure and key distribution. Both Star and ad hoc (Manet) topologies were investigated as a solution for autonomous / smart vehicle system. As a conclu-sion a combined topology was developed, as the nature of the vehicle and infra-structure allows combined solution, that benefits from both topologies advan-tages, with low number of Keys, real time performance of the Vehicle to Ve-hicle (V2V) and strong reliable encryption on the Infrastructure to Vehicle (I2V) as well as easy integration of old (dumb) vehicles.
