Abstract

The management of fraudulent users of vehicular ad-hoc networks is one of the most important security issues of these mobile networks. It is necessary to prevent the access of malicious users to the network so that they cannot send false information to other users. This paper defines a new method for managing revoked users, using identity-based authentication, what allows improving both efficiency and security through certificateless authentication. The presented proposal optimizes the performance of classical revocation lists by building a data structure based on two concepts: an authenticated dynamic hash k-ary tree, and the frequency with which revoked pseudonyms are queried. Thus, revoked pseudonyms that are more frequently queried have a higher level in the tree. This provides a better match to urban environments, where there are some types of vehicles that spend more time on the road due to their work tasks.
