Internet of vehicles (IoV) is the evolution of conventional vehicle network (VANET), a recent domain attracting a large number of companies and researchers. It is an integration of three networks: an inter-vehicle network, an intra-vehicle network, and vehicular mobile Internet, in which the vehicle is considered as a smart object equipped with powerful multi-sensors platform, connectivity and communication technologies, enabling it to communicate with the world. The cooperative communication between vehicles and other devices causes diverse challenges in terms of: storage and computing capability, energy of vehicle and network's control and management. Security is very important aspect in IoV and it is required to protect connected cars from cybercrime and accidents. In this article, we propose a network model for IoV based on software Defined Network and Cloud Computing.
Nowadays, Vehicular ad hoc Network as a special class of Mobile ad hoc Network(MANET), provides plenty of services. However, it also brings the privacy protection issues, and there are conflicts between the privacy protection and the services. In this paper, we will propose a privacy protection algorithm based on group signature including two parts, group signature based anonymous verification and batch verification. The anonymous verification is based on the network model we proposed, which can reduce the trust authority burden by dividing the roadside units into different levels, and the batch verification can reduce the time of message verification in one group. We also prove our algorithm can satisfy the demand of privacy protection. Finally, the simulation shows that the algorithm we proposed is better than the BBS on the length of the signature, time delay and packet loss rate.
