FSAID: Fog-based secure mutual authentication scheme for intelligent driving

Abstract Intelligent driving has reduced traffic and accidents, which has increased road safety. One of the advantages of Smart vehicles is communication with the environment, communication with the environment makes the driver aware of the traffic situation and accidents, and other things. However, the vehicle needs to be able to authenticate the other party before exchanging data. In this paper, we propose a secure mutual authentication scheme for intelligent driving. We compare the proposed scheme with the security analysis Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) tool and then compare the proposed scheme with other existing schemes in terms of communication, computation cost, and the number of bits. We simulated the proposed design with tools NS3, and it has been examined in terms of Packet Delivery, Throughput, and End-to-End Delay in different scenarios. The results show that the proposed scheme is resistant to known attacks and has a low communication cost and medium computation cost compared to other schemes.
