Secure Group Key Dissemination Protocol in Cooperative Vehicular Platooning
Résumé
Cooperative vehicular platoons improve road safety and reduce congestion through synchronized maneuvers enabled by Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication. Vehicles are authenticated using certificates from the Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Short-term certificates, serving as vehicle identifiers, change over time and distance, which may lead to legitimate members being misidentified as attackers in the platoon, resulting in false positives. Additionally, sensitive data, such as platoon IDs, must be protected from impersonation attacks by external vehicles. To address these challenges, we propose a secure group key-based authentication framework that uses post-quantum cryptography and Shamir’s Secret Sharing for key exchange. This ensures accurate member authentication and protection of platoon data. Security analysis using the Scyther tool along with simulations using PLEXE simulator demonstrate the protocol’s effectiveness in securing platoon operations against cyber threats.
