Abstract
Standards such as the American IEEE 1609, European ETSI ITS-G5, and Japanese ARIB STD-T109 aim to establish Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) by enabling Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). In VANETs, vehicles communicate with other vehicles and roadside infrastructure to support latency-critical applications which increase driver awareness of the surroundings. This should result in improved safety and possibly optimizing traffic. However, to secure VANET communications against message manipulation or replaying, security standards such as IEEE 1609.2 and ETSI TS 103 097 are proposed. In this work, we implement the cryptographic primitives recommended in the IEEE 1609.2 standard to authenticate low latency safety critical messages. We evaluate the effect of the implementation using metrics such as CPU clock cycles per operation, average computation time in milliseconds, and message size in bits. We perform a simulation presenting a high-density highway scenario for the above mentioned C-ITS standards. For each standard, we evaluate the number of safety messages that can be successfully received within 100 ms latency. We show how and to what extent the authentication overhead of latency-critical messages may impact on driver safety. Under an assumed traffic scenario, we show that a crash is possible, as a result of the evaluated authentication delay. We show that the recommended algorithms with specific parameters can be a potential solution for low latency safety-critical applications in a large scale scenario.
