Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has evolved as an advancement over the conventional Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) in pursuing a more optimal intelligent transportation system that can provide various intelligent solutions and enable a variety of applications for vehicular traffic. Massive volumes of data are produced and communicated wirelessly among the different relayed entities in these vehicular networks, which might entice adversaries and endanger the system with a wide range of security attacks. To ensure the security of such a sensitive network, we proposed a distributed authentication mechanism for IoV based on blockchain technology as… More >

Abstract The introduction of the electronic medical record (EHR) sharing system has made a great contribution to the management and sharing of healthcare data. Considering referral treatment for patients, the original signature needs to be converted into a re-signature that can be verified by the new organization. Proxy re-signature (PRS) can be applied to this scenario so that authenticity and nonrepudiation can still be insured for data. Unfortunately, the existing PRS schemes cannot realize forward and backward security. Therefore, this paper proposes the first PRS scheme that can provide key-insulated property, which can guarantee both the… More >

Abstract The Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is the fundamental of smart transportation system in the future, but the security of the communication between vehicles and vehicles, between vehicles and roadside infrastructures have become increasingly prominent. Certificateless aggregate signature protocol is used to address this security issue, but the existing schemes still have many drawbacks in terms of security and efficiency: First, many schemes are not secure, and signatures can be forged by the attacker; Second, even if some scheme are secure, many schemes use a large number of bilinear pairing operation, and the computation overhead is… More >
