Performance Analysis of Authentication Protocols in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET)

Traditionally traffic safety was addressed by traffic awareness and passive safety measures like solid chassis, seat belts, air bags etc. With the recent breakthroughs in the domain of mobile ad hoc networks, the concept of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) was realised. Safety messaging is the most important aspect of VANETs, where the passive safety (accident readiness) in vehicles was reinforced with the idea of active safety (accident prevention). In safety messaging vehicles will message each other over wireless media, updating each other on traffic conditions and hazards. Security is an important aspect of safety messaging, that aims to prevent participants spreading wrong information in the network that are likely to cause mishaps. Equally important is the fact that secure communication protocols should satisfy the communication constraints of VANETs. VANETs are delay intolerant. Features like high speeds, large network size, constant mobility etc. induce certain limitations in the way messaging can be carried out in VANETs. This thesis studies the impact of total message size on VANET messaging system performance, and conducts an analysis of secure communication protocols to measure how they perform in a VANET messaging system.
